lyrics

I could waste some time with you
Or think of something else to do
But you’re reason to my rhyme, and I’ll choose you every time
I fly away.
And I could waste some time with you
Or leave it all and break right through.
When you need to redefine, We can leave the world behind
‘Cause there’s really no mistaking
What I’m feeling
Even if it’s mostly in my mind
And a flight of fantasy can be appealing
Even if it’s just a waste of time
I could waste some time with you.
There’s nothing else that I’d rather do
But to while away the afternoon with you.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo…
And there’s really no escaping
What we’re feeling
Even if it’s only in the mind.
Cause a flight of fantasy can be revealing
Even if it’s just a waste of time
And I like to tilt at windmills, but they’re never what they seem
And even an impossible dream…
ain’t a waste of time to me
I could waste some time with you
Or think of something else to do
But you’re reason to my rhyme,
and I’ll choose you every time I fly away.
