Wasting Time - Bernard Fanning

Well I’m sitting here flipping through excuses for why I shouldn’t call you

Every muscle, every fibre, every hair object to the very idea

I just can’t put my finger on however hard I try to slap away the halo around

you

Still it lingers and abruptly without warning bitter memories appear

When I think on it for long enough

Of all the time we wasted on each other’s love

It’s a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow

What was once so fine, has been broken and burned

So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return

Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives

Blinded, 'til I understood that only the good love survives, only the good love

survives

But you and I were wasting time

You and I were wasting time

All those wringing hands and cheap ideas we could reason as failures

But to run it through again would only serve to do nobody no good

So let the universe decide how we can loosen all the knots and tangled ways we

came to

And resolve to never speak of it again — oh love if only we could

When I think on it for long enough

Of all the time we wasted on each other’s love

It’s a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow

What was once so fine, has been broken and burned

So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return

Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives

Blinded, 'til I understood that only the good love survives, only the good love

survives

But you and I were wasting time

We were only wasting time
