lyrics

I hope I'm old enough to be out of my mind when I die
I'll be so scared if it's any other time
I'm thinkin' 'bout the futility
(Of what?)
Of all our tiny little lives
Doesn't it keep you up at night?
No? Or is that just me?

Am I just wasting time
Waiting for the end of mine?

I spend the time I do have worried about what I don't
I guess it's crisis as usual

Am I just biding time?
Waiting for the end to arrive
Guess I'm just wasting time
Waiting for the end of mine

Wish I could just kill my awareness
Ignorantly blissful and careless
Keep on moving forward and perish
Without this looming dread

I hope one day I'll be ready
To let the universe come and get me
Claim the things it bestowed down upon me
Without thinking about death

We're all just wasting time
And time keeps racing by

(Bye, bye, bye, bye, goodbye)
(Bye, bye, bye, goodbye)
(Bye, bye, bye, goodbye)
(Bye, bye, bye, goodbye…)
