Killing time

I liked you the best
When you were innocent
And inarticulate
Because now you know too much

I am still too naive
To believe that this love
Could never rust

I thought our hearts were sewn together
By the grudges I ignored
Against the tide I must weather
Because I cannot afford to lose

Because I'm just killing time
Because I'm just killing time
Because I'm just killing time
For you, you

My youth is fleeting
And my heart is beating for
Traces of a beauty I once knew

'Cause I'm a stranger
Who eyes the beat
Faded and erased
From you

Because I'm just killing time
Baby I'm just killing time
Because I'm just killing time
