Lyrics for Wasting Time as interpreted by oofus

Wasting Time Lyrics
I'm wasting time thinking about a girl
And stealing her away from her world
She and I would run away
I think of all the things that I'd say

We'd talk about important things
And I picture it in my dreams
She'd teach me about modern art
And I'd show her it's okay to fart and

Maybe I'd impress her
By being in a band and
Maybe if I act real tough
She'd let me hold her hand and
Maybe I'll win her heart
By writing this song about her

Sometimes I sit at home and
Wonder if she's sitting at home
Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
Sitting at home, thinking about her
Or am I just wasting my time

Remembering how she laughed at Kinko's
When I made fun of that guy
Remebering the look she gave me
When I told her that I used to fry

I really want to ask her out
But my ego could never take it
And even if I got the balls
You know that the Cougar would never make it

And in my town you can't drive naked

And maybe I'd impress her
By being in a band and
Maybe if I act real tough
She'd let me hold her hand and
Maybe I'll win her heart
By writing this song about her

Sometimes I sit at home and
Wonder if she's sitting at home
Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
Sitting at home, thinking about her
Or am I just wasting my time

Am I just wasting my time
Am I just wasting my time
Am I just wasting my time
Wasting my time thinking about a girl

my favorite song by them. when i was 15, this was the only album i listened to over and over and over again(other than sunny day...ahhh, summer of '94...). i grew up feeling their emo-ish lyrics, one of the best punk cds ever. if you flame me, i will have to walk through the tunnels of internet and biotch slap your @ss. have a nice day. :)

this song rocks... every time i hear this song, it reminds me of my ex-girlfriend who i still love. when i first got chesire cat back in like 95, i would listen to it over and over, and then go skating. this was my favorite song off the album, cause i was thinking of her, and wondering if she was sitting at home thinking of me! blink rocks, and they still rock.

Wasting Time is a great song. I think it's one that most teenagers or I guess anyone can relate to. Everyone has had that time when they were sitting around thinking about someone that they liked and though, hey maybe she/he is thinking about me right now. The song talks about all the things that him and his girl could learn from eachother and the fun they could have.

Thats all a sign of a good song. Not only can you feel what they are feeling but you feel it yourself. This song reminds me of my gf now. I used to sit around before we were together thinkin of her and wonderin if she was thinkin of me and feeling the same way...or was i just wasting my time?

This is my favorite blink 182 song. Everyone is always saying, "back during cheshire cat, they were still punk". Face it folks, Blink was NEVER hardcore punk. But thats okay. Blink were, and actually still are a good pop punk band. But anyways, this song reminds me of a girl I liked (duh!) and this is Blink's best song b/c its not glossy, and they aren't being gross, and even though its not incredibly original or anything, this is what blink does best.

That's my "romantic" life for the last few years. Worked out exactly like that, never doing anything. Luckily, in hindsight, there's more than one instance where I'm glad I didn't do anything, but I definitely have some regrets.

What the hell does "fry" mean? I always thought he was saying "cry."

alpha5099,
im probably mistaken but i think "kinko's"
is a fast food chain in america sorta like mcdonalds,
"when i told her that i used to fry", i think is a reference to working the fryer (to cook french fries) at "kinko's", which is regarded as a really bad job and you get minimum wage.

Where I live, Kinko's is a place to make copies of everything. But who knows. Perhaps it is a restaurant. Somewhere.

Kinkos isn't a resaurant, it is simply a place where you can make copies, and purchase office supplies. Anyways, Blink 182 is still one of my favorite bands, watch out for their new album!

Frying- as in frying your brain. Pot doesen't fry your brain. Acid does, and any type of Ecstacy can too.

This is definitely one of their best songs, when they were stll young and finding out about love.
Som e of their best lyrics are on this album.
The only other songs as sweet as this (In my opinion) are ; a new hope, online songs, and I'm lost without you.
Love this song, so very true, and very meaningful.
These guys will ALWAYS rock, and they shouldn't have stopped so soon : (
But alteast I still have Plus 44!
If you don't know them, all blink fans will like them
Tom sings in it, and trav does drums sometimes.
Go listen!!
BLINK182 WILL LIVE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
