about

If you’ve ever invested considerable time and emotion in trying to either open or change someone’s mind and found it futile, you completely understand this song. I had too many people in my life trying to tell me who, what, where and how I should be, think and act. My attempts to get them to leave me alone by pointing out that what was right for them was not automatically and justifiably right for me caused enough frustration for this song to come bouncing out of the dark, scary recesses of my mind in the middle of the night.

lyrics

Did somebody see, a different direction
Did somebody make, a different connection
Though it could be right, it can’t be right for me baby
I’m only wastin’ my time

Run, run city child all gone country style maybe
Make, break any dream, you make better seem, like you’re crazy
I’m only wastin’ my time, I’m only wastin’ my time

And nobody knows, a single collection
And nobody shows, a simple perfection
And though it could be right, it can’t be right for me baby
I’m only wastin’ my time

Say, play any song, help you get along, could be
Lose, choose, anyone, try to catch the sun like it should be
I’m only wastin’ my time, I’m only wastin’ my time

I wanna see you rockin’ till four in the morning
Smilin’ out the good times like a priest to his calling
Swimming seas of happiness the rest of your life, but
I’m only wasting my time

Has anyone seen, a final conclusion
Has anyone been, above the confusion

Tick, tick time away, will tomorrow wait for you
Try, die, you and I, do you wonder why it’s not all you
I’m only wastin’ my time, I’m only wastin’ my time
