Wasting Time

I'd like to use a metaphor
Before you throw me out the door
If that is how far gone we are
If it seems we fell apart so fast
Like Alice and the looking glass
Illusions masked the way we were
It was 10 degrees below
Like children playing in the snow
We were distracted from the cold
When frostbite came to settle in
We were wondering how it came to this
We didn't really want to know
We were wasting time...
I'd really like to be profound
Try to turn this thing around
But I'm just wasting all your time
I'd like to think of something deep
To try to make you stop and think
But I'm just wasting all your time
From your myopic point of view
The best was right in front of you
But there was more you wouldn't see
Demons lurking underneath
Start surfacing eventually
And when you saw the worst in me
You knew you were wasting time...

You see it happen all the time
I've always wondered how you're blind
To all the suffering intertwined
To your policies that bind
Easy enough to demonize
Anyone you are not like
But when you take away their rights
You really overstep the line
What's your fight in all of this
Do you think you'd be remiss
To not keep someone else
From loving who they choose
You hate the lover not a sin
You never give in, not an inch
Why do you think you have a win
When there are people suffering
What's your fight in all of this
Do you think you'd be remiss
To not keep someone else
From loving who they choose
Is your love so weak
That it is threatening
To see someone different
Married just like you
Just like you...

Think of Me
06:18

When you look back on your life
And see what passed you by
If you start to wonder why
I hope you think of me
When bitterness consumes
And it's eating up at you
If it's all that you can do
I hope you think of me
I hope you think of me...
When it never feels quite right
And it just isn't worth the fight
When you lay awake at night
I hope you think of me...
When you're swallowed by despair
And you can't bring yourself to care
If you wonder how you got here
I hope you think of me
I hope you think of me...
When you look back on your life
And all you can do is cry
When you see what passed you by
I hope you think of me
I hope you think of me...

Let Me Drown

You seem disappointed
Did you think this would last?
The statement so pointed
"All things must pass"
Are you that naive?
Did you really believe in me?
If this came so easy
How would you figure out
That nothing worth having
Is just laying about?
Why can't you see
You're just spinning your wheels with me?
Love is an anchor
Pulling you down
I'm already sinking
Just let me drown
Passion may be a good thing
But not for paying the rent
Time is like money
And mine's already spent
You're just wasting your time
I've made up my mind
Love is an anchor
Pulling you down
I'm already sinking
Just let me drown
Am I just a habit
You never could shake?
I keep on bending you
But you never break
Love is an ocean
We're a ship lost at sea
The waves keep on crashing
But you never leave

Washed Away
04:24

The demons of regret
That never turned into remorse
The demons of your past
Are washed away
The demons of the second chance
And of the third and of the fourth
The demons of the wayward glance
Are washed away
They're washed away
The demons that you can't forget
That kick you when you're down
The demons of “I blew my chance”
Are washed away
The demons of the parting blow
Of the pride and of the shame
The demons of the all time low
Are washed away
They're washed away
The demons of the one night stands
And all the nights away from home
The demons of the next
Are washed away
The demons of debauchery
And the butts and bottles on the floor
The demons of lament
Are washed away
They're washed away
