Waste of time

"Waste of time" is a song by The Gliding Faces from the album Veritas. "A late entry into the project, this. We'd been working remotely on Max's side for ages and I decided to come up with something a bit funky with a call-and-response line in it," says Dan.

Lyrics

I should have said this then
The moment's gone
So I'll move on
I said I'd let it go
That was a lie
I'll think about this
Till I die 

It's going round in my head
In my head
In my head
in my head
I'll worry about something else instead
Else instead
Else instead
Else instead 

It's a waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
I'm a slave to my mind
To my mind
To my mind
To my mind

Preoccupied
Antagonised
Obsessively
Agonised
Overthinking
Second-guessed
Give it a rest
Give it a rest

It's going round in my head
In my head
In my head
in my head
I'll worry about something else instead
Else instead
Else instead
Else instead 

It's a waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
I'm a slave to my mind
To my mind
To my mind
To my mind
Chasing solutions
Chasing solutions
Chasing solutions
I'll never find
Never find
Never find
Never find

It's going round in my head
In my head
In my head
in my head
I'll worry about something else instead
Else instead
Else instead
Else instead 

It's a waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
I'm a slave to my mind
To my mind
To my mind
To my mind
Chasing solutions
Chasing solutions
Chasing solutions
I'll never find
Never find
Never find
Never find
