A Lifetime Ago - Floes

How do you know If you've done everything right? Is it the love you have at hand Or the cash you kiss at night? How do you know If it was worth it in the end? Did every second really count? Or were there some you should've spent? On anything but anyone you love Was this the life that you were dreaming of? A movie night, a yellow light You're slowing down and days are adding up So don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love, so don't waste it I'm unimpressed By the people preaching pain For the sake of some small game In the sake of someone's name I'm unprepared For my loved ones to be gone Call 'em way too often now Worry way too much about mom Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love, so don't waste it It's family and friends, and that's the truth The fountain doesn't give you back your youth You're staying up too late at night And laughing under kitchen lights So hard you start to cry Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love, so don't waste it

There's more to question than answers And sand will slip through your hands And love is faster than lightning So grab it while you can mm, mm, mm... Well I've been searching forever Between the bad and the good But now I know what I'm missing And I wanna make it with you One night in a lifetime One life in a night One night in a lifetime And babe it's gotta be tonight Babe it's gotta be tonight One night in a lifetime One life in a night One night in a lifetime And baby it should be tonight Baby it should be tonight One night in a lifetime One night, one night, one night In a lifetime, one night They say that love is a gamble And luck will play a trick or two But I'll risk all of my loving I'd put my last buck on you One night in a lifetime One life in a night One night in a lifetime And baby it's gotta be tonight Baby it's gotta be tonight One night in a lifetime One life in a night One night in a lifetime And baby it's gotta be tonight Baby it's gotta be tonight One night in a lifetime One night, one night, one night In a lifetime, one night One night in a lifetime One life in a night One night in a lifetime And baby it's gotta be tonight Baby it's gotta be tonight One night in a lifetime One life in a night One night in a lifetime And baby it should be tonight Baby it should be tonight

I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took You can read a different story in a lot of different books But even then you won't really know How it was a long time ago Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in I was born with a fire down below And i learned to fly a long time ago Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane I think you already know I told you that a long time ago Me and ol' Willie, lordy we've been sold and bought I guess y'all heard about some kind of system that we fought We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught They tried to run us off but Willie's slow I quit running a long time ago

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
