Wasting my time on you

You look so good, at least from here
I bet you smell nice when you’re near
But I’m wasting my time on you
Wasting my time on you
When I write, you don’t reply
There’s no response, I don’t know why
I should be wasting my time on you
Wasting my time on you
You bounce around, you flick your hair
And keep your nose up in the air
I’d been wasting my time on you
Wasting my time on you
We pass so close, remain apart
It’s probably best you’ld break my heart
If I was wasting my time on you
Wasting my time on you
I looked for a reason that I would want to stay
But everything you do, seems to, means to push me away
I wanted to find, someone amazing inside
But all I see, is vanity, and a willingness to let it slide (and a little girl that wants to hide)
You change your dress, you change your hair
But you can’t change the girl that’s there
I wasted my time on you
I wasted my time on you
I could admire, I could adore
But you couldn’t love yourself any more
I wasted my time on you

Waiting for a better day

When my day is going wrong
I just sit back and roll along
Looking up and come what may
I’m waiting for a better day
I don’t mind the pouring rain
It washes away some memories again
An’ I’m smiling in an ironic way
And hangin’ out for a better day
Some times life feels like a race
Don’t be chasing for first place
When you work, find time to play
Keep on looking for a better day
I have moved from town to town
But isolation was all I found
So I’ll move on just snake my way
Always searching for a better day
Let’s just say “It’s all good”
Do your best you know you should
Jump in the car and drive away
And hope to find a better day
I’m not a religious man
Not sure I should ask, or if I can
But Oh my Lord can I just say
Please deliver me a better day

Better than this

I don’t know your name
I don’t know where you live
I don’t know what your friends are called
And I don’t know what scares you, or makes you laugh
I don’t know why you walk the way you do
Or what you think of the people you look through
I don’t know what makes you cry,
Or roll your eyes, or makes you smile
I don’t know why you changed your hair, or why I care
That should mean nothing to me
Now every time I see a red dress,
I’m going think of you,
I’m going to think of you
It can’t get better than this
It can’t get better than this
No matter what I do
To take away from you
It can’t get better than this
Maybe we should never speak
Maybe we should never meet
Then I can freeze this perfect moment
Nothing you could do to improve
Nothing I can do to impress
Any closer could only lead to less
It can’t get better than this
It can’t get better than this
No matter what I do
To take away from you
It can’t get better than this

Happy to see you

Driving alone
Street lights glowing
It’s starting to rain
Radio on
Talking to me
The same shit a different day
I open the door
Walk in the hall
Looking around
I hear the kids scream
And the TV
A million toys on the ground
Dinner is late
But kids they won’t wait
And you’re sounding stressed
Your hair is a mess
There’s dirt on your dress
Surviving, more or less
How was your day
You’ve nothing to say
But the look says it all
We work and we slave
For money to save
But we still hit the wall
I’m happy to see you
So happy to seeeee you
Happy to see you
So happy to see see you
The life that we choose
Leaves us battered and bruised
And kind of falling apart
Rewards that we find
Keep in your mind
But most of all in your heart
End of the day
Exhausted and frayed
From trials you’ve been through
Just one little phrase
A moment of praise
I should remember to give to you
Happy to see you
I’m happy to seeeee you
So happy to see you
