lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've been running through life like we'd run down a mountainside
Just tryin' to keep up but our legs can't carry us
There were times we'd be alone but the silence was welcome
And the wind would bite so cold but the moment would keep us warm

Tell me now child, did you once think about me?
I think of you, and I've grown to hold you
Responsible for everything I'd never amount to
'Cause I'd rather point the finger than correct my point of view
For you x3

[Chorus]
Waste no more
Get up get out and on
With the rage of an Animal
Give 'em nothing to want for

[Verse 2]
With a whisper we lie for there's time left to borrow
Yeah It comes for the rest but we've always tomorrow
So we live for the highs though they come now less often
But we'll take what we can get as our passions they grow black and they turn rotten

Tell me now you've grown, did you once think about me?
I think of you, and I've grown to loathe you
In spite of all your confidence, did you ever follow through?
'Cause I'm too worn out to start again
Bet everything I had
On you x3

[Chorus]

Nothing to want for x2

[Bridge]
Tell me what you're waiting for, it's now or never
You could set fire to the sea, if that's what makes you happy
And I know we can't be sure, but I know that you want more
Even just a little more

[Chorus]

Nothing to want for x2
Give 'em nothing to want for
Nothing to want for

Thanks for checking out my work! I know its a small collection and I only upload a new song every half year, but I'm trying to upload more frequently since at least a few people seem to enjoy what I do. Everyone's support and kind words are appreciated more than you could ever believe. ... more
