Indigo Girls Just Passing Time Lyrics

Just Passing Time Lyrics

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 night digs deeper in

they`re 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 soul searching 
where do i go when i`ve lost my cause
we are the stories
even the good ones let me down
there all just words to pass the time

i used to be so sincere 
and maybe i still am
and 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 ones 
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 out words
and all the strain is gone
sometimes it`s too unreal to believe
just don`t give it all away
get a grip
causes sometimes there are 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 worthwhile 
i don`t want spend the rest of my life 
just passing time
i don`t want to spend the rest of my life here
just passing time
