But What's the Point? Lyrics

By the time that this pays off

You might be sick of me

By the time that this pays off

I might be sick of you

By the time that this pays off

We might be sick of it

By the time that this pays off

We might have something better to do

Working and trying

Laughing and lying

And no one wants to speak their mind

Dodging and dancing

With reckless abandon

Just twisting another line

Aggressive enjoyment

While always avoiding

Just looking in each other’s eyes

Acting and posing

And music composing

Should come as no surprise that

By the time that this pays off

You might be sick of me

By the time that this pays off

I might be sick of you

By the time that this pays off

We might be sick of it

By the time that this pays off

We might have something better to do

From crawling to walking

And crying to talking

We still have a ways to go

Just feeling and bumping

And making assumptions

About a world we don’t know

It’s not what it seems

But it means everything

Cuz we’ve never been here before

At the end of the path

We’ll just look back and laugh

At the things we struggled for, and

By the time that this pays off

You might be sick of me

By the time that this pays off

I might be sick of you

By the time that this pays off

We might be sick of it

By the time that this pays off

We might have something better to do

Fumbling and mumbling at top speed

Seems to get the job done right

Baby, maybe irony is all we need

To forget the mess last night

Obviously we agreed

Not to turn on the light

Because today’s another day

Yeah, and nothing’s gonna change

By the time that this pays off

You might be sick of me

By the time that this pays off

I might be sick of you

By the time that this pays off

We might be sick of it

By the time that this pays off

We might have something better to do
