Lyrics Great Big Sea

Great Big Sea

Buying Time

1. Stayed awake for hours again last night

Am

Searching for the reason to keep up the fight

I've made choices I don't regret

I've got problems I don't get

2. 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 gets left behind

R: Oh, let's 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

3. For years and years you can drift alone

And write another verse to an endless song

Wait one more day 'til the time is right

Hoping you both see the light

R: Oh, let's wait...

*: I'm not afraid to sleep alone

I'm not afraid to be alone.

4. Stayed awake for hours again last night

Searching for the reason to keep up the fight

I've made choices I don't regret

I've got problems and problems and problems

R: Oh, let's wait...
