Indigo Girls Passin Time
"Passin' Time" is an Amy Ray song from "Color Me Grey." Passin' Time. She was grasping for a way to tell us all The hurt she felt inside "We're all too happy," she says, "Let's have a war," And the knife digs deeper in. It's just some words to pass the time Some words to pass the time. Now when the silence gets to be too much I can feel the souls searching Where do I go when I've lost my cause? We all have stories Even the good ones let me down They're all just words to pass the time. I used to be so sincere, and maybe I still am But all this small talk I've been reeling off Is slowly getting out of hand. I mix real feelings with the ones I wish I had And I catch the most important one in between them all Sometimes it seems like they're all just words to pass the time. And then we've lost our time And we've wasted our words And all restraint is gone Sometimes it's too unreal to believe Just don't give it all away - get a grip Sometimes they're all just words to pass the time. I said I'm too high, I'm too high And I'm scared of falling down I've just been grasping for words to make you want to stay To make it all worthwhile 'Cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life Just passing time No, I don't want to spend the rest of my life here Just passing time.
