lyrics

It’s always the same, you spend every day staring at him from a distance.
But things will never change if you just sit and wait for him all night.
There’s something to be said for waiting till it’s right and something also, for persistence
No matter what you say, eventually you must make up your mind

But if you really want this then you better start to chase it.
‘Cause if this is all you’ve got I’m not convinced.

Well if you love him why are you wasting your time with me?
You’re always making excuses not to follow through.
I’m always trying to help you win his heart, but it seems nothing is working no matter what I do.

You say you’re biding time, but I think you’re just shy, spouting nonsense and excuses.
If you wanna make a move you better do it soon while there’s still time.
And now had a dream, where you end up with me, and you’re convinced that it’s a warning.
Because it was the worst dream that you’ve ever had in your whole life.

You say if that’s your future then you better start to change it,
that’s not the kinda life you wanna live.

Well if you love him why are you wasting your time with me?
you’re always making excuses not to follow through.
And now you’re doubting if it’s what you really want
but
you can’t make a decision, you don’t know how to choose.

Suddenly the dream you had isn’t seeming all that bad,
when this room is huge but you’re so close to me.
And you reconsider everything, wondering if your hopes and dreams aren’t
everything you once thought them to be.

Well if you love him why are you wasting your time with me?
you’re always making excuses not to follow through.

Well if you love him why are you wasting your time with me?
you’re always making excuses not to follow through.
And you keep fighting, with everything you got
but it’s like the more that you fight it’s a fight you’re gonna lose.

Oh and suddenly the dream you had isn’t seeming all that bad
when the room is huge but you’re still close to me.
And you reconsider everything, wondering if your hopes and dreams aren’t
everything you once thought them to be.

Well if you love him why are you wasting your time with me
you’re always making excuses not to follow through.
‘Cause you’ve been wondering if it has to be this hard and you say
“Why are things simpler whenever I’m with you?”
