Can’t Waste a Minute
I was playing with words no-one could understand a thing
They'd never get the drift of it
Waste my time on the absurd static that just seems to cling
I just got rid of it, now
I can't waste a minute
Can't send a minute
Can't waste a minute of your timeless love
I'm all fingers and thumbs fumbling the things to do
To make life better for you
Don't get a thing when it comes but everything's a lot less blue
Since I met you
I can't waste a minute
Can't send a minute
Can't waste a minute of your timeless love
If I had a million years I wouldn't spend it in tears
But I haven't got that much time and what I've got isn't mine
Anymore anymore anymore
Anymore anymore anymore
I woke up in the night and realised I hadn't slept
I'd just been dreaming
Someone pushed for a fight but somehow I'd already left
I woke up screaming
I can't waste a minute
Can't send a minute
Can't waste a minute of your time
Can't waste a minute of your time
Can't waste a minute of your timeless love
Your timeless love Your timeless love Your timeless love
Your timeless love
Your love, your timeless love
Ooh yeah
