Indigo Girls - Passin Time lyrics

Passin' Time.

She was grasping for a way to tell us all

The hurt she felt inside

"We're all too happy," she says, "Let's have a war,"

And the knife digs deeper in.

It's just some words to pass the time

Some words to pass the time.

Now when the silence gets to be too much

I can feel the souls searching

Where do I go when I've lost my cause?

We all have stories

Even the good ones let me down

They're all just words to pass the time.

I used to be so sincere, and maybe I still am

But all this small talk I've been reeling off

Is slowly getting out of hand.

I mix real feelings with the ones I wish I had

And I catch the most important one in between them all

Sometimes it seems like they're all just words to pass the time.

And then we've lost our time

And we've wasted our words

And all restraint is gone

Sometimes it's too unreal to believe

Just don't give it all away - get a grip

Sometimes they're all just words to pass the time.

I said I'm too high, I'm too high

And I'm scared of falling down

I've just been grasping for words to make you want to stay

To make it all worthwhile

'Cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life

Just passing time

No, I don't want to spend the rest of my life here

Just passing time
