Waste of Time

It's too early for a song

Much too early for a song

Please forgive me 'cause I wrote you one

Allow me to explain

Although it all might change

The words came in and pained themselves

I shouldn't be to blame

Deep inside I sometimes feel

A spinning uninvited wheel

The pain that's all around  it settles in me

Sadness that I keep

Thought it made me weak

Now I've met your soul, it's left me with the space to sleep

I've been racing all my life

For some unholy prize, I don't care about it

Making everybody proud

Looking up and running round

And it wears me out

So wake up late and let's take our time

Drink tequila with too much lime

'Cause lately I've come to find

That all I want is one incredible waste of time

It's so easy, warm and light

And I'm feeling happy 'cause I know our song

Will go on and on and on

This waste of time

Your brother taught you how to dance

Then he taught me how to dance

Watch you watch me with the eyes

Your mother gave you and your hands

Held onto my hands, standing on your feet

Follow the plodding of the band

I've been racing all my life

For some unholy prize, I don't care about it

Making everybody proud

Looking up and running 'round

And it wears me out

So wake up late and let's take our time

Drink tequila with too much lime

'Cause lately I've come to find

That all I want is one incredible waste of time

It's so easy, warm and light

And I'm feeling happy 'cause I know our song

Will go on and on and on

This waste of time

Waste of time, waste of time

On and on and on this wasted time

When the world is far too bright

And you need to close your eyes

To the craziness, the maze that grows

And twists along outside

Just find a way to play

This simple song I made for you to make it go away

So wake up late and let's take our time

Drink tequila with too much lime

'Cause lately I've come to find

That all I want is one incredible waste of time

It's so easy, warm and light

And I'm feeling happy 'cause I know our song

Will go on and on and on

This waste of time
