[Verse 1]
What a world, what a day
Looking back, couldn't take
Never thought I'd come around
Put my head under the ground
Memories, fantasies
Seventeen, baby dreams
Tryin' to make it on the edge
Laugh at words we never said

[Chorus]
I'm just buying time without you
Smiling's just a game without you
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more
'Cause I'm just buying time

[Verse 2]
When your moon kissed the sun
Felt a light leave the ground
Now I'm hearing what you say
Never thought you'd be erased
Novocaine for the pain
Had a hope, better days
Stay with you like a friend
Smile because you hadn't left

[Chorus]
I'm just buying time without you
Smiling's just a game without you
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more
'Cause I'm just buying time

[Chorus]
I'm just buying time without you
Smiling's just a game without you
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more
'Cause I'm just buying time
I'm just buying time without you (Buying time)
Smiling's just a game without you (Smiling's just a game)
I don't wanna play, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play this game no more (Play this game no more)
'Cause I'm just buying time
I'm just buying time
