"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
--Aristotle
Wasting Time
1994
Little boy in the back of class, waiting for the time to pass
So he can see his Dad at last
He waits and waits and waits
Young girl with her heart on a string, a new love for her heart to bring
So she hangs around to hear the telephone ring
She waits and waits and waits
All this time we spend waiting, when we should be out creating
A new life to fill our time, find somebody new
Days go by and hours pass, but into the hour glass
I find myself wasting time, wasting time on you
Young man with a world of dreams
But years to go ‘til he earns his degree
So he’s off to study psychology
He waits and waits and waits
Lady sits at home alone
Long distance love always goes wrong
Still she hopes and prays that he’ll come home
She waits and waits and waits
All this time we spend waiting when we should be out creating
A new life to fill our time and find somebody new
Days go by and hours pass, but into the hour glass
I find myself wasting time, wasting time on you
Woman in an old folks home, she’s got on her Sunday clothes
Hopefully today they’ll show
But still she waits and waits and waits and waits (Wasting time)
She waits and waits and waits and waits (Waiting)
She waits and waits and waits and waits
Just like I’m wasting time on you
All this time we spend waiting on love that is never returned to us, when what we should be doing is going out and creating new love in our life. Love is real because it hurts. It gives us hope, joy, pain, and sorrow. It is one of the strongest emotions and one of the best of emotions. But, if you are going to feel it, you have to feel ALL of it. I think some people hang on to the hope of it, as I was doing when I wrote this song. I also some some fear it because they did feel all of it once before. Yet. we still hold on to hope when it is missing, that it will somehow magically come back to us.
