Furtively lonely
Empty plane rides
Long bus lines
Busy minds
Leaving quiet towns
Taking on discordant cities
I’ve been roaming independently
Waiting inconsequentially
Half asleep on the bus
Too early in the morning
To see any light
I’ve been killing time
I’ve been blue all down the line
I’ve been killing time
I don’t want to come back here alone
All the years you didn’t show
I painted pictures I don’t know
I left the door open to my empty apartment
I hit the road
It doesn’t do me any good
When I’ve been misunderstood
Confusion intertwined
I’m still killing time
Passing road signs
I’ve been killing time
I’ve been blue all down the line
I’ve been killing time
I don’t want to come back here alone
Half asleep on the bus
Too early in the morning
To see any light
I’ve been killing time
I’ve been blue all down the line
I’ve been killing time
I don’t want to come back here alone
I don’t want to come back here alone
