lyrics

If we’re killing time, well let’s kill it right
Pep talk the shadows till the light dies
Show me your problems and i'll show you mine
Tell me those things you won’t tell anyone
We’ll watch the lines in our faces run
We'll show each other the scratch paper we’ve become

Write it out on a napkin, spit it out at the light

Working out the answers, working through the matter
Drifting through the data, Oh god, scratch until it’s better

We’ll kill some time but it just won’t die, but you know that days gonna come
Time’s gonna fill up like a grave don’t let it hurt you
Till then we’ll sit and watch the old days, the old ways hanging by a thread
The old comforts turning blue, turning ancient

Then you’ll feel a weight lift from you, whether or not you really want it to.

Working out the answers, working through the matter
Drifting through the data, Oh god, scratch until it’s better
