lyrics

KILLING TIME

I never told you how I felt
You barely told me anything and I guess it’s just as well
Cuz you have built up a mountain between us
now you’re living in the valley on the other side where the grass is greener

But tell me baby how does it feel to be alone?
You’re talking to a vacancy on the other end of the telephone
And you can’t even see what’s in the mirror
You think that’s self aware but baby nothing could be nearer to a lie, to a lie…

And how can you call this the truth
How can you look me in the eye
And tell me that everything’s for you
to decide in your time

I thought I was giving everything
Now I know that I was holding back
Cuz how can you give yourself away to someone you know
Won’t ever give it back

You take your truth and you smoke it in your pipe and then you
Take yourself on a shopping spree till you’re barely half alive and then you
Cry in the darkness of your room
You’re half sunk, already skunked, but the game won’t end till you goddamn want it to
No, Till you goddamn want it to

How can you call this the truth
How can you look me in the eye
And tell me you know just what to do
And you’ll get by until it’s time
You’ll get by like this till it’s time

But what is time? who am I? who are we supposed to be to each other?

How can you call this the truth
How can you look me in the eye
Maybe it’s time for me and you to stop killing time getting by
Stop killing hope getting by
Stop killing change getting by
Stop killing time getting by
