If/Then - No More Wasted Time Lyrics

Once upon a grad school
Beth met Oran and he said,
My dear, you're kind, you're pretty, with a brain inside your head.
I've got work out west, will you come with me if we're wed?
So off Beth went to Phoenix
Full of champagne, cake, and dread

Twelve years on, her hope had all but died
So she checked the wreck around her
And with a big, deep breath Beth cried,

No more wasted time
No more standing still
I once would dream of building cities
And now I think I will

She said, I'm done with life out west
And Oran well, we did our best
But I can't wait
No more wasted time
It's much too late

No more wasted time
No more time for doubt
You say you're not sure you're a hero
It's time to find out

So say you've made a few mistakes
Heroes know that's what it takes
To find their way
No more wasted time
Not one more day

We've got no time for playing nice
There's only time for strong
We've got no need for good advice
We've listened far too long
It's gone too wrong

No more wasted time
No more holding back
No bowing low and asking nicely
We need a new attack

We're gonna run the whole damn place
With some class and with some grace
And we'll do fine
No more wasted time
It's on the line

You've got no time for playing nice
I've got no time for playing nice
There's only time for strong
I know I'm strong
And we don't need to tell you thrice
You've waited for this long
I hope I won't go wrong

No more wasted time
No more wasted time
No more wasted breath
No hoping life will just get better
We've hoped it half to death
We've hoped it half to death
We've hoped it half to death

No praying for the perfect card
'Cos life is short and life is hard
So I don't care how
No more wasted time
No more wasted time
No more wasted time
No more wasted time
No more wasted time
Starting now
Now
Now
