Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Granddad’s watch on my wrist ticks soft Coffee steam in the truck cab fog Sun coming up on a gravel lane Same red barns, but it’s not the same Scrolling through old photos fast Kids grow up, and the moments pass Every “someday” that I put off Feels like another page I lost [Chorus] Do you love life? Then don’t waste time ‘Cause that’s the stuff That it’s made of Every laugh, every tear Every small, quiet year If you love this wild ride you’re dreaming of Don’t waste time, that’s the stuff life is made of [Verse 2] Half-wrote songs in a dusty book Half-planned trips that we never took You said “choose us” or “choose that phone” I chose wrong, drove home alone Now it’s drive-thru meals and late-night calls Talking big dreams in these four walls I’m learning slow what matters most Holding on, not letting go [Chorus] Do you love life? Then don’t waste time ‘Cause that’s the stuff That it’s made of Every fight that we mend Every call to a friend If you love this wild ride you’re dreaming of Don’t waste time, that’s the stuff life is made of [Bridge] I don’t want “maybe later” on my stone (oh no) I want stories in the lines around my eyes So I’m turning every “can’t” into “I’ll try” While the clock’s still on my side [Chorus] Do you love life? Then don’t waste time ‘Cause that’s the stuff That it’s made of Every road, every turn Every slow lesson learned If you love this wild ride you’re dreaming of Don’t waste time, that’s the stuff life is made of Yeah, don’t waste time That’s the stuff life is made of
