[Verse 1]
Wait until you find that pot of gold, till everything starts
Wait until the perfect point 'til what you want is gone
You could never see what's further on, unless it shone brighter
You would never leave unless the path ahead was all laid out for you
You're waiting for imaginary people
Imaginary circumstance and so
You're fate unfolds
More unanswered questions, other problems you won't solve
[Chorus]
Wasting your time looking for a free ride
Think everything's fine but you can't see further forward
Draw another line so you can hide behind it
Never even thought twice about the things you even wanted
[Verse 2]
Hold on for another coattail you can ride upon
But it'll be different this time
You tell me, that you will try harder, and that everything follows
Maybe I'd believe you if I didn't know what came before it all
[Chorus]
Wasting your time looking for a free ride
Think everything's fine but you can't see further forward
Draw another line so you can hide behind it
Never even thought twice about the things you even wanted
[Bridge]
It didn't matter what you wanted
It never mattered what went wrong, you kept faking
You wouldn't let it break your promise
You just pretend instead, I watch as you waste it
[Chorus]
Wasting your time looking for a free ride
Think everything's fine but you can't see further forward
Draw another line so you can hide behind it
Never even thought twice about the things you even wanted
Wasting your time looking for a free ride
Think everything's fine but you can't see further forward
Draw another line so you can hide behind it
Never even thought twice about the things you even wanted

[The track is] full of constructive criticism – it’s about someone shirking their own ambitions and making excuses for unrealised potential.
The track had a lightness that guided the melody lines. But we couldn’t resist putting a dark spin on the lyrics.
