she was grasping for a way to tell us all

the hurt she felt inside

we're all too happy she says

"let's have a war"

and the night digs deeper in



they're just some words to pass the time

some words to pass the time



now when the silence gets to be too much

i can feel the soul searching 

where do i go when i've lost my cause

we are the stories

even the good ones let me down

there all just words to pass the time



i used to be so sincere 

and maybe i still am

and all this small talk i've been reeling off 

is slowly getting out of hand



i mix real feelings 

with the ones i wish i had

and i catch the most important ones 

in between them all

sometimes it seems like they're all just words 

to pass the time



and then we've lost our time 

and we've wasted out words

and all the strain is gone

sometimes it's too unreal to believe

just don't give it all away

get a grip

causes sometimes there are just words to pass the time



i said i'm too high i'm too high 

and i'm scared of falling down

i've just been grasping for words 

to make you want to stay 

to make it worthwhile 

i don't want spend the rest of my life 

just passing time

i don't want to spend the rest of my life here

just passing time
