Wasting Time (New York) (Old Sea Brigade Remix)

I was walking through New York

Mulling over nights before

Can a magician volunteer

Pull some new tricks and make me disappear?

Was walking down the Bowery

Fairy tales aren't meant for me

While two halves win their lotteries

I just waste pennies at slot machines

And this whole time your window's been facing mine

While I was only wasting time

All these hours you were hiding in my mind

Tonight I'll finally get it right

We stood in a moshing pit

Your favourite band played all their hits

And you fell asleep right at the bar

I sang their songs driving your car

The persistence of memory

Melting time clouds over me

My first gray hair just laughed at me

And I'm not getting younger, can't you see?

Now do I have to say anything at all

Could you count my worried lines

Settle down before the day gets old

A trend my parents swore by

And this whole time your window's been facing mine

While I was only wasting time

All these hours you were hiding in my mind

Tonight I'll finally get it right

I was walking through New York
