Passin Time Lyrics - Indigo Girls

"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.
