Lyrics
Restless fool
am I wasting time, the time that was meant for me? am I really looking at the things I need to see? take a step outside, into the pouring rain. wash off all the make-up of the fool that still remains. now my life is so different than the things I learned at school, always living by the golden book of rules. they laced me up in ribbons and then told me to be free. they took me for another timid fool. ¤ was I wasting my time, the time that was there for me? did I keep myself from being all that I could be? took a step outside, into the pouring rain. washed off all the make-up of the fool that I became. do you waste your time on reading books but not the lines between? do you waste your time on compromising, too? did you notice that the world's no better place because of you? do you feel just like another wasted fool? yeah ¤ what will our children know of the places we have been? moving down the safe side of the street. never really knowing what it is they hold inside, holding on to all their make-believe. ¤ stop wasting my time, this time belongs to me. better keep your distance now, don't waste your time on me. take a step outside, into the pouring rain. wash off all your make-up you're the fool that still remains. do you paint your life by numbers not beyond the dotted lines? do you notice there are colors in between? do your dreams take on the shades of things you hope will come true? how does it feel to be a restless fool? oh oh, how does it feel to be a restless fool? yeah yeah, how does it feel to be a restless fool?
