Wasting Time

If I could get back to a place where I relate
To the people around me
I think I would be safe, until they found me out
You know it’s never too late - unless you sit and wait
And watch it all waste away, don’t let it all waste away

Don’t, don’t change your mind
Thinking of me, let fate decide
The way it’s gonna be
Cause when you close your eyes
What do you see?

If I could get back all the minutes I saved
Just to spend on you, watching our love
Turn to hate, and suck the air out the room
She said, “there are no mistakes, only lessons proved
Through all the choices you make
And what you actually do”

Don’t, don’t change your mind
Thinking of me, let fate decide
The way it’s gonna be
Cause when you close your eyes
What do you see?

I’ll be back again to try, when the bottom of your eyes
Have finally dried, you know you only shed tears for
Things worth a fight, and now you’re staying up at night
Another bottle of wine, smoking cigarettes inside
When you fantasize about it, I doubt that you can count
The words around the phrases that you swore you would
Never say, until your chariot came up in a fiery blaze

So don’t take any precautions, no we can’t waste anymore oxygen
In poor taste, spending this life all alone - for Pete’s sake baby
“pick up the goddamn phone” I know you want me
Like I want you, you’re the first thing that I think of when the sun shines through
I’m blinded by your lights, and even if I tried I could never deny your orbit in my mind
So spin me in circles till I go dumb, spin me in circles till I go
Spin me in circles till I go, till I go…
