Buy Time
Lyrics
Take a picture, call it quits
All my friends are moving in
Scouting for a memory
Reality and gravity
Play it back
Watch the lights
Break it down
Distill my life
Sit around
Strut your stuff
Like you own the neighborhood
If I could buy up time and hide it all away
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
And chase the day
Life is hiding till the night
Roaming streets and running lights
Pick an idol, prop it up
I curse this town then stick around
Spend my days on legal fees
Faded globe from '83
Spent my days giving up
It's close enough
It's close enough
Plenty of space to fill
Plenty of days left over
Plenty of time to kill
Plenty till there's not enough
If I could buy up time and hide it all away
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
And chase the day
Spend it on the weekend
I'm wide awake
What makes you sleep at night
I'm wide awake
Something don't feel right
All my friends are using drugs
Like they own the neighborhood
If I had just one request
I think I'd keep it to myself
If I could buy up time and hide it all away
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
I'd steer us toward the sun
And chase the day
