Wasting Time - Bernard Fanning

Written by：Bernard Fanning/Nick DiDia

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 were never wasting time

You were never 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 were never wasting time

You were only wasting time
