Counting time with cigarettes & coffee spoons,
You wish the weeks away, but the weekends over too soon
The television's not your friend it make things worse
You'll never see your opening night, instead you just rehearse

Days drag into nights - there's nothing said nor done
Your soul destroying lethargy can't be really fun
Everyone around you seems so vital, so alive
So often they will warn you that you never even try !

She spoke to you; anticipation in her eyes
She seemed to say "How about it?" as you gazed up at the sky
When they told you later, you pretended not to care
Then decided to yourself that life just isn't fair

One by one they disappear you never even stir
One day when you look, you'll see that no ones even there
Is it too late to regain the friendships that you've lost
& are they so important that you never count the cost?
