Waste Your Time
Freedy Johnston · Other Songs - Freedy Johnston
Why don't you see if I'm around
Maybe I'll waste your time
Like I waste your time
And if you ever get the sense
You're gonna see me again
I'm gonna waste your time
Like I waste your time
Do you still complain
About everything
You make it sound like a compliment
Do you still have spells
Catastrophic bills
You make it look like you intended it
If you ever get downtown
Why don't you see if I'm around
Maybe I'll waste your time
Like I waste your time
And if you ever get the sense
You're gonna see me again
I'm gonna waste your time
Like I waste your time
Do you still forget
Exaggerate the rest
You make it all into an incident
Do you still deny
Shut one eye
Then aim right between the promises
