Wasting Time Lyrics

Painted smiles and old routines

Keeping cool by any means

Have got me listless, feeling heavy as a stone

Let's make a break and make it clean

Skip the staleness of this scene

Make something of our dreams before we get too old

No going back, now I've made up my mind

Gonna kick the door of the world open wide

And stop wasting time

I nursed the wounds of old defeats

Wouldn't risk another kick in the teeth

And dragged broken ambition

I was too tired to repair

Found a soft hand in nostalgia trips

Cracked a quick lash with cutting quips

And tried too long coping by pretending not to care

No going back, now I've made up my mind

Gonna kick the door of the world open wide

And stop wasting time

Painted smiles and old routines

Stuck drifting in the in-betweens

Have got me listless, feeling heavy as a stone

I know they're no guarantees

But I'd rather bleed than just retreat

Let's salvage something of our dreams

Before we get too old

So if you're coming along for the ride

Let's get the hell out of here and drive

And stop wasting time
