“wasting time” is the dramatic finale to dan’s "hopeless romantic" EP, rounding out the experience with some lo-fi vocals, orchestra-like guitar arrangements, and (hopefully) insightful lyrical musings about the way we sometimes treat dating apps.
lyrics
come back to me
(dream and drift away)
take my heart up off my sleeve
(waiting for today)
like the leaves beneath the tree
(drowning in the dew)
i'm falling but i'm free
(that's what i'm told is true)
the fairytale of freedom
floats in place
wasting time, wasting space
waste my soul with every pace
run for the anxious haste
in my mind
the only thing i seem to love
is wasting time
come back and see
(you only know my name)
pull the thread until it bleeds
( i weaved it yesterday)
thinking free
('bout what it means to be)
holding me
(to claims that i believe)
the murky mirror memory
must be mine
wasting time, wasting space
waste my soul with every pace
run for the anxious haste
make it mine
it seems the only thing i love
is wasting time
~solo~
wasting time, wasting space
chase my heart with every face
think sparse and out of place
that's just fine
it seems the only thing i love
is wasting time
