Lyrics

Buying Time

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, baby dreams Trying to make it on the egde Laugh at 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 'Cause I'm just buying time When your moon kissed the sun Felt a light leave the ground Now I'm hearing what you say Never thought you'd be erased Novacaine for the pain Had a hope, better day Stay with you like a friend Smile because you hadn't left 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 'Cause 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 'Cause 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 'Cause I'm just buying time I'm just buying time
