Lyrics
Look inside yourself
Do you like the things you see?
Shattered dreams and discontentment
Wondering just who you should be
Some folks pray and seek redemption
Some folks just drink themselves blind
I guess it just comes down to one thing
Are we only wastin' time?
Wastin' time
Wastin' time
Are we only wastin' time?
There are holes in empty pockets
Holes in empty lives
Everything's a mystery
Boring days and dreamless nights
There's a light that shines from heaven
But it never shines on me
So I sit here in my darkness
Now will I forever be...
Wastin' time
Wastin' time
Are we only wastin' time?
We stand in agony
Looking to the sky
And we wonder why
We wonder why
Will it really matter
A little further down the line
Will it really matter
Will it really matter
Now I'm standing at the edge of the future
But it sure don't look like mine
Wasted youth, wasted breath
But mostly wastin' time
Wastin' time
Wastin' time
Wastin' time
Wastin' time
Are we only wastin' time?
