Gonowhere Lyrics - My Old Familiar Friend - Brendan Benson

Don't waste your time 

On people going nowhere 

Make up your own mind 

And you're already halfway there 

Hesitate 

Or give a second thought 

And you'll be late 

Forget what you've been taught 

You could have it nice or complicated 

You could pay full price or you could take it 

You could improvise and be creative 

You've got a lot to give and you've got a life to live 

Don't put it off 

Another minute longer 

Don't go all soft 

You've got to be stronger 

Don't speculate 

'Cause no one ever knows 

It's up to fate 

And you can't predict the way it goes 

You could have it nice or complicated 

You could pay full price or you could take it 

You could improvise and be creative 

You've got a lot to give, you've got a life to live 

You don't do anything 

You won't do anything 

You won't say anything that isn't kind 

Anything that isn't nice 

Don't waste your time 

On people going nowhere 

Don't wait in line 

If you expect to get somewhere 

Save your breath 

Don't wanna hear your stance 

It's just a guess 

And you only have this chance 

You could have it nice or complicated 

You could pay full price or you could take it 

You could improvise and be creative 

You could roll the dice or you could play dead 

You could give advice or you could take it 

You could have it all, you could have it all 

You could have everything you love 

Everything you love, everything you love 

You could have it all, you could have it all 

You could have everything you love 

Everything you love, everything you love 

You could have it all, you could have it all 

You could have everything you love 

Everything you love, everything you love 

Reach out and take it 

You've got so much to give 

And you've got a life to live
