Wasting Time Lyrics

Here we go again,

Scrolling back through things unsaid

Pages that were left unread

In a box of records covered in dust

Could music hold the pieces we've lost?

We never noticed how far we had drifted

Until we sat there quietly and listened

Perhaps we were always a little distant

Afraid to expose the parts we're missing

Taken by people who left us hurting

To all the places we kept deserting

Was anything left untouched?

Not scarred by time or suffering

Stuck on replay, forever reminiscing

Or like a track that keeps on skipping

Maybe that's why it feels like

We're wasting time

We're just wasting time

Seems we're all a little broken

Chasing things like pride that keep us hoping

'cause if we really looked inside ourselves

We'd hide away like records on a shelf

Or run away to rock shows by the city line

For distractions supplied for a dollar sign

But as the disc keeps turning

We try to find what we're yearning

And masking the things we don't want seen

'cause it all comes down to how we look on a screen

Judged by people who left us hurting

To all the places we kept deserting

Was anything left untouched?

Not scarred by time or suffering

Stuck on replay, forever reminiscing

Or like a track that keeps on skipping

Maybe that's why it feels like

We're wasting time

We're just wasting time

Music tells us a story from a long-gone place

Bringing back memories we once thought erased

Without holding back, giving us every line

Never knowing the kind of treasures we'll find

Music reminds us to live for now, not what's past

When a moment fades, another comes fast

And if memories fade or start to blur

Music reminds us that something occurred

Like people who left us hurting

To all the places we kept deserting

Was anything left untouched?

Not scarred by time or suffering

Stuck on replay, forever reminiscing

Or like a track that keeps on skipping

Maybe that's why it feels like

We're wasting time

We're just wasting time
