Short in the Sleeve - Wasting Time

Painted smiles and old routines
Keeping cool by any means
Have got me listless, feeling heavy as a stone

Let's make a break and make it clean
Skip the staleness of this scene
Make something of our dreams before we get too old

No going back, now I've made up my mind
Gonna kick the door of the world open wide
And stop wasting time

I nursed the wounds of old defeats
Wouldn't risk another kick in the teeth
And dragged broken ambition
I was too tired to repair

Found a soft hand in nostalgia trips
Cracked a quick lash with cutting quips
And tried too long coping by pretending not to care

No going back, now I've made up my mind
Gonna kick the door of the world open wide
And stop wasting time

Painted smiles and old routines
Stuck drifting in the in-betweens
Have got me listless, feeling heavy as a stone

I know they're no guarantees
But I'd rather bleed than just retreat
Let's salvage something of our dreams
Before we get too old

So if you're coming along for the ride
Let's get the hell out of here and drive
And stop wasting time
