Biding Time Lyrics by Chief State

Tough Love

2020

[Intro]
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me

[Verse 1]
And this time, you went too far from here
I'll cast a line before you disappear
I've been writing letters home in hopes you'll be alone
'Cause I'm not the kind to sit back and condone

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't think you're getting better
I doubt you're really happy
Spending all these nights awake

[Chorus]
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me
I should be out tonight instead of thinking of you
I think you're not the one for me

[Verse 2]
As days slip by, I feel the lack of sunlight
There's a bitter emptiness that's tearing me inside
Try to forget the unwritten story
Of how you left, just dipped and ignored me
Left me in the dark searching for light
Don't condescend 'cause you know that I'm right

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I'm not getting better
I know that I'm not happy
Spending all these nights away

[Chorus]
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me
I should be out tonight instead of thinking of you
I think you're not the one for me

[Bridge]
No, you're not the one I thought you would become
I played the fool, I am my father's son
Getting better's overrated, I realize that I am fated
To be alone while you bide your time

[Chorus]
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me
I wish I was out tonight with you
I think you're not the one for me, yeah

[Outro]
No, you're not the one for me
(For me, for me, for me, for me)
(For me, for me, for me, for me)
(For me, for me, for me)
No, you're not the one for me
