No Time To Waste
Everyone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We crave the night
But hate the dark
And feel alive
While being torn apart
We try our best
But end up doing much less
There's no time to waste
I got so old this morning
While reading through the news
Every words a warning
We're all gonna lose
Everything we've worked for
Still nobody moves
Smiling in the meantime
Through the impending doom

We crave the night
But hate the dark
And feel alive
While being torn apart
We try our best
End up doing much less
There's no time to waste

I miss when things were boring
And days felt like a dream
Before, before the globe was warming
Back when I could sleep
The way that things are going
I'll be dead by 43
The fucked up thing about it
Is it's a-ok with me

We crave the night
But hate the dark
And feel alive
While being torn apart
We try our best
But end up doing much less
There's no time to waste

I get high as hell
But feel so low
Surrounded by love
But still so alone

We crave the night
But hate the dark
And feel alive
While being torn apart
We try our best




But end up doing much less
There's no time to waste
