What a world, what a day
Looking back couldn't take
Never thought I'd come around
Put my head under the ground
Memories, fantasies
Seventeen maybe dreams
Tryin' to make it on the egde
Life of words we never said
I'm just buying time without you
Smiling's just a game without you
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more
'Cuz I'm just buying time
When you move, kiss the Sun
[?] Eat the ground
Now you're here, what you say?
Never thought you'd be erased
Well we came for the pain
Out of hope, better days
[?]
It's probably 'cuz you hadn't lived
I'm just buying time without you
Smiling's just a game without you
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more
'Cuz I'm just buying time
I'm just buying time without you
Smiling's just a game without you
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more
'Cuz I'm just buying time
I'm just buying time without you
Smiling's just a game without you
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more
'Cuz I'm just buying time
Cuz I'm just buying time
