Waste of Time

The room was barren
the corner was a chair.

A certain warmness was carried in the air;
you could feel it from inside.

That’s when I knew that it was the end
the end of waitin’ on the sun.
That’s when I wrote the letter I would send,
in hopes of reaching someone.

I was searching for a story I could tell
that no one heard before.
Choosing details to make it seem like hell
and tapping on the floor.

That’s when I knew that it was the end
the end of waitin’ on the sun.
That’s when I wrote the letter I would send,
in hopes of reaching someone.

But if you listen
to everyone,
it’s hard to figure
what’s mine

And if your livin’ just ain’t any fun
it’s just a waste of time.
It’s such a waste of time.
It’s just a waste of time.

Someone told me with the television on
that time was passin’ in between.
I turned to see if they were readin’ it all wrong
but they had moved another scene.

That’s when I knew that it was the end
the end of waitin’ on the sun.
That’s when I wrote the letter I would send,
in hopes of reaching someone.

But if you listen
to everyone,
it’s hard to figure
what’s mine

And if your livin’ just ain’t any fun
it’s just a waste of time.
It’s such a waste of time.
It’s just a waste of time.
