Lyrics
Timewaster
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here comes the reveal,
So get out of the way
There is too much too feel,
An emotional landslide
Full of sentiment,
But never sentimental
I'm a lonely man,
Surrounded by people
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)
well I'm a northern star,
Here in the darkness
I'm a fat cigars
Burning embers
Full of sentiment,
But never sentimental
I'm a lucky man
Surrounded by people
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)
ooo wooo ooo woooahhh
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)
