Brian Mathew - Waiting Around to Live (Live) Lyrics

Got a date with someone new Sunday morning
Gonna spend all the words that I've been hoarding
Friday's a forest of time to kill
My chin is on the window sill
I'm waiting around to live
Waiting around to live
The fluorescent iron coils of imperative debt
Buying with the borrowed breaks a rule a kid might set
Tomorrow will mint me a platinum coin
'Til then, no duty or tangible joys
I'm waiting around to live
Waiting around to live
Got some fortune of the free coming up
Yeah life will be so, so different in a couple of months
60 days for 15 minutes
And bliss won't come upstairs to visit
I'm waiting around to live
My best friend is too messed up to be around
If he breaks the dead man's float, he'll drain his strength and drown
I love him more than he loves himself
So I'll leave him be if that really helps
I'm waiting around to live
Waiting around to live
And I never let myself be dearly missed
Cuz being out of touch is too much, too much of a risk
I'm out of sight but never out of mind
Around the clock, me and my love on standby
Waiting around to live
Waiting around to live
With my toes lined up and imaginary springs in my knees
Everything was right 'cept who I was supposed to be
Who cares if it's head first when you're diving for pennies?
But dusk is falling and last whistles are ready
I'm waiting around to live
Waiting around to live
