Wasting Time (Original) | Allison Young Music Video

Hey there! Here is an original song of mine for ya!

I wrote this song a couple of years ago when I first moved to Nashville. I definitely dealt with a lot of anxiety at the time, and I also was dealing with my imposter syndrome as moving to a city full of musicians sounds fun, but it sure can make you feel like you aren't good enough to be there.

I've not shared a lot of original music on here in a while, and I'm excited to share this with you :)

LYRICS:

Well I’ve been running round in circles
And I can’t seem to catch my breath
I’ve been spending my days workin’
One of these days I’ll work myself to death

Well I’ve been wasting time
Doing things that I don’t like
Just to just get the approval in a stranger’s mind
I’ve been wasting time

Well I’ve been going through the motions
And all my days are bleeding into one
I just drink down my potion
The bleeding won’t hurt if I’m numb

Well I’ve been wasting time
Doing things that I don’t like
Just to just get the approval in a strangers mind
I’ve been wasting time

(Instr.)

Oh I think I’ll let my hair down
And cut I️t to my jaw to feel the breeze
And I’ll go get some flowers from downtown
And stop hiding the scars on my knees

And I’ll be someone I admire
Hopefully a year or so from now
And I’ll have a heart of fire
Burning with ambition and it’ll never go out

I’ve been wasting time
Doing things that I don’t like
For what reason, I’ll never know why
I spend so much of my life
Wasting Time.
