Wasting Time

Well I'm sitting here flipping through excuses

For why I shouldn't call you

Every muscle, every fiber

Every hair object to the very idea

I just can't put my finger on

However hard I try to slap away the halo around you

Still it lingers and abruptly

Without warning bitter memories appear

When I think on it for long enough

Of all the time we wasted on each other's love

It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow

What was once so fine

Has been broken and burned

So I wait here in the dark

For the light to return

(Blinded) I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives

(Blinded) 'Til I understood that only the good love survives

Only the good love survives

But you and I were wasting time

You and I were wasting time

All those wringing hands and cheap ideas

We could reason as failures

But to run it through again

Would only serve to do nobody no good

So let the universe decide

How we can loosen all the knots and tangled ways we came to?

And resolve to never speak of it again

Oh love, if only we could

When I think on it for long enough

Of all the time we wasted on each other's love

It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow

What was once so fine

Has been broken and burned

So I wait here in the dark

For the light to return

(Blinded) I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives

(Blinded) 'Til I understood that only the good love survives

Only the good love survives

But you and I were wasting time

We were only wasting time
