Time to waste

by Lost Girl   Apr 28, 2005


Please see I’ve got so much time left to waste
Drowning in my sorrows, caught up in yours
Spending my days running in circles from myself
Wasting each second finding my worthless flaws

I’ve got too much time on my hands and in my heart
No point in expectations as I will only let you down
So much empty space is filling up my empty thoughts
Listening intently to that same old familiar sound

My heart beats in my chest, a thousand times faster
Now that I have all the time left in the world to spare
Spending my days trying to find answers, always failing
So much time left to waste leaves me smothered in despair

All the seconds on the clock are suspended just for me
Burning moments in the background of my mind
I pass my days with butterflies, high amongst the clouds
Blackout for an age, to the world I turned so blind

Wasting time looking to the future, dwelling in my history
Now that the world passes at snails pace, I find myself fast
When I should be helping I fall away from you again
Holding on to each precious moment as deaths clock ticks past
