Wasting Time

WE LEFT IT WITH SOME SIMPLE WORDS--

A QUICK GOODBYE,

THEN TURNED OUR BACKS, TIME TO GO.

WE WALKED AWAY TO SEP’RATE LIVES,

NOT KNOWING WHEN

WE MIGHT COME BACK TO HELLO.

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LAST ONE DAY

BUT HERE I AM--

I’VE MADE IT MORE THAN A YEAR.

AND THOUGH I’VE TRIED NOT LOOKING BACK,

SOMETHING WAS LOST

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT

NEAR OR FAR

I’LL WANNA KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT BE,

AND IF YOU NEEDED ME, I’D DROP IT ALL TO

LEND A HAND

TO HOLD YOU UP AND HELP YOU STAND.

IF YOU GET LOST ON THIS NEVER-ENDING CLIMB--

OH, WHO CARES ABOUT THE CLIMB

‘CAUSE I’M

YES, I’M DONE WASTING TIME.

I KNOW YOU’RE OUT THERE, AND I’M GLAD

YOU FOUND YOUR WAY,

THAT WE’RE NOT LIVING IN FEAR.

I KNOW ONE DAY OUR ROADS WILL MEET,

WE’LL TALK IT THROUGH,

AND I WILL SAY TO YOU

NEAR OR FAR

I’LL WANNA KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT BE,

AND IF YOU NEEDED ME, I’D DROP IT ALL TO

LEND A HAND

TO HOLD YOU UP AND HELP YOU STAND.

IF YOU GET LOST ON THIS NEVER-ENDING CLIMB--

OH, WHO CARES ABOUT THE CLIMB

‘CAUSE I’M

YES, I’M DONE WASTING TIME.

I DON’T WANNA BE

SOME SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY,

WHEN I KNOW

(YES I KNOW)

WHAT’S BEEN BROKEN, WE CAN MEND

I WANNA BE THERE AT THE END

OF THE SHOW.

NEAR OR FAR

I’LL WANNA KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT BE,

AND IF YOU NEEDED ME, I’D DROP IT ALL TO

LEND A HAND

TO HOLD YOU UP AND HELP YOU STAND.

IF YOU GET LOST ON THIS NEVER-ENDING CLIMB--

OH, WHO CARES ABOUT THE CLIMB

‘CAUSE I’M

YES, I’M DONE WASTING TIME.
