Wasn't all just a waste of time
It wasn't just all a waste of time
Got my toes up in the sand
Been droppin' across this land
I'll never understand
How all my time is spent
We've been wastin away
These golden days
I wonder if ill ever go and yes then find my way
We've been lost for now
Beaten down but proud
Been thrown upon this road
No but Never question no
Which direction we go
Oh it seems our destiny is sown
It wasn't just a waste of time
While we're wasting away
"Look at all the love that we found"
It wasn't just a waste of time
While we're wasting away
"Look at all the love, all the love that we found"
Well there's truth in all
As far as we can see
No matter what the people say
You always got to be
We're not wasting away
These golden days
I see the way you Movin' Everybody got their ways
So at the, end of the day
When love is all we've found
It never seems so wasted
When it's all I see now
Listen to your golden days
I love it when I hear you say…
It wasn't just a waste of time
While we're wasting away
"Look at all the love that we found"
It wasn't just a waste of time
While we're wasting away
"Look at all the love, all the love that we found"
All this time, it wasn't wasted, and never too far away
All this love that we've been chasing
I hope it comes back to me
Oh I know, oh I know
It wasn't just a waste of time
While we're wasting away
"Look at all the love that we found"
It wasn't just a waste of time
While we're wasting away
"Look at all the love, all the love that we found"
