lyrics

V1
I used to waste time, too stubborn to wave white flags.
If ever faced with facing it down, I would pack my bags,
As if a new setting could change my luck,
And the loss would be less of a drag,
While time kept rolling on.

V2
And I used to waste time just trying to call my own bluff.
I'd count every last cent I spent on dead-end love.
But no matter how many receipts I saved,
My hindsight was never enough,
And meanwhile, time kept rolling on.

CH
And in spite of sad songs,
The sun was still rising
While I was playing dumb,
Insisting on trying
To keep on running
When I really couldn't run anymore.
If I'd've had some foresight,
I'd've planned for something
Besides to die young,
Live hard and leave nothing
But an eighty-nine Camry
sitting on the side of the road
'Cause time kept rolling on,
'Cause time kept rolling on.

V3
And I used to waste time with my foot hovered over the brake
Like a broke-down pickup doing fifty in the passing lane.
But no matter how much I slowed things down,
I could not get it through my brain
That time kept rolling on.

CH
And in spite of sad songs,
The sun was still rising
While I was playing dumb,
Insisting on trying
To keep on running
When I really couldn't run anymore.
If I'd've had some foresight,
I'd've planned for something
Besides to die young,
Live hard and leave nothing
But an eighty-nine Camry
sitting on the side of the road
'Cause time kept rolling on,
'Cause time kept rolling on.
'Cause time kept rolling on.
