I should be thinking about an upcoming election
I should be picking up the trash along the road
I should be filling up on friends
And keeping up on trends
And finding ways of lifting one more load
I can hear one more deadline looming in the distance
And a band of young and hungry ones on stage
Another night of work will send
Another week away
While listening to the stories and the rage
But all I want to do
Is make you smile
It's the only thing I know will turn out right
All I want to say
Is I'll be by
I'll be wasting time on you for the night
Now it's zero hour for making more corrections
To the things I ruined many years ago
I should really see more kin
Pretend to count my sins
And plan the days away, away they go
I should be falling down a whole new wishing well
I should find a way out now, before the fall
There's some brand new weather coming
Killing everything I do
I see it seeping underneath my wall
But all I want to do
Is make you smile
It's the only thing I know will turn out right
All I want to say
Is I'll be by
I'll be wasting time on you for the night
