Buying Time

Great Big Sea · UP [1995]

I stayed awake for hours again last night

Searchin' for a reasong to keep up the fight

I've made choices I'll regret

I've got problems I don't get

I didn't wanna carry the heavier load

You can't always take the middle road

There comes a time when you make up your mind

And the point gets left behind



(Chorus) Let's wait one more day for the conversation

One more day to make it right

Let's get away from the confrontation

One more day just buying time



For years and years you can drift along

And write another verse to an endless song

Wait one more day til the time is right

Hopin' that you both see the light

You won't see the light



Chorus



I'm not afraid to be alone

I'm not afraid to be alone



I stayed awake for hours again last night

Searchin' for a reasong to keep up the fight

I've made choices I don't regret

I've got problems and problems and problems



Chorus

Just buying time (X2)
