I was up on Harrison, in the summertime
Swimming my way through traffic, to the other side
Making my way to the public pool
Trying to feel normal, like the others do
You were down on Washington Boulevard, hiding from life
In a smoky bar, telling jokes, and drinking lies
Making your way through a day of fools
Trying to feel normal, like the others do
Can't you see we were just wasting our time
Can't you see we were just wasting our time
Can't you see we were both just wasting our lives
The days were a hammer, and the night, it was glass
It cut a little deeper, with every crash
Covering my heart was all I knew
Trying to feel normal, like the others do
And i wanted to run, but there was just nowhere to run
Afraid of missing the chance of being a father's son
I waited for you to come through
So I could try to feel normal, like the others do
Can't you see we were just wasting our time
Can't you see we were just wasting our time
Can't you see we were both just wasting our lives
I've been a man in this world, just drifting, like ash
Burning up and out, with a hurt, that couldn't pass
We've been bouncing around, like goddamn fools
Trying to feel normal, like the others seem to do
Can't you see we're just wasting our time
Can't you see we're just wasting our time
How much longer are we both gonna' waste our time
How much longer are we both gonna' waste our time
How much longer are we gonna' waste our lives
