Wasting Time

Album: Cheshire Cat (1994)

  • I'm wasting time thinking about a girl
    And stealing her away from her world
    She and I would run away
    I think of all the things that I'd say
    We'd talk about important things
    And I'd picture it in my dreams
    She'd teach me about modern art and
    I'd show her it's okay to fart and

    Maybe I'd impress her
    By being in a band and
    Maybe if I act real tough
    She'd let me hold her hand and
    Maybe I'll win her heart
    By writing this song about her

    Sometimes I sit at home and
    Wonder if she's sitting at home
    Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
    Sitting at home thinking about her
    Or am I just wasting my time?

    Remembering how she laughed at Kinko's
    When I made fun of that guy
    Remembering the look she gave me
    When I told her that I used to fly

    I really want to ask her out
    But my ego could never take it
    And even if I got the balls
    You know that the Cougar
    Would never make it
    And in my town
    You can't drive naked

    And maybe I'd impress her
    By being in a band and
    Maybe if I act real tough
    She'd let me hold her hand and
    Maybe I'll win her heart
    By writing this song about her

    Sometimes I sit at home and
    Wonder if she's sitting at home
    Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
    Sitting at home thinking about her
    Or am I just wasting my time?
    Am I just wasting my time?
    Am I just wasting my time?
    Am I just wasting my time?
    Wasting my time thinking 'bout a girl

    Should we double 'em high or low? Writer/s: Mark Hoppus, Scott Raynor, Tom DeLonge
