Waste My Time (day 180)

Baby, this is how I wander

and chase the evening sky

Baby, this is how I want you

to spend and waste my time

 

I don’t mind just sitting here

with bones that snap so silent

Space I can’t fill perfectly

with words that spit out violent

 

Baby, this is how I wander

and chase the evening sky

Baby, this is how I want you

to spend and waste my time

 

I know we will gather dust

if we don’t use this wind

I’ve tucked time in my pocket

and all I want to do is spend

 

Baby, this is how I wander

and chase the evening sky

Baby, this is how I want you

to spend and waste my time

 

This is not a waste of hours

This is comfort in insanity

This is shivering with closeness

This is the together of lonely

 

Baby, this is how I wander

and chase the evening sky

Baby, this is how I want you

to spend and waste my time
