Buying Time - Great Big Sea

I stayed awake for hours again last night

Searching for a reason to keep up the fight

I’ve made choices I don’t regret

I’ve got problems I don’t get

I didn’t want to carry the heavier load

You can’t always take the middle road

There comes a time when you make up your mind

And the point get left behind

Oh lets wait one more day for the conversation

One more day to make it right

Lets get away from the confrontation

One more day just buying time

For years and years you can drift alone

And write another verse to an endless song

Wait one more day till the time is right

Hoping that you both see the light

You won’t see the light!

I’m not afraid to sleep alone

I’m not afraid to be alone

Stayed awake for hours again last night

Just searching for a reason to keep up the fight

I’ve made choices I don’t regret

But I’ve got problems and problems and problems and problems.
