Sitting on the couch watching time slip away 
Reach for your lighter to burn another way 
The clock runs fast while you run slow 
Nothing worth doing and nowhere to go 

Don't blame it on the herb 
You get what you deserve 
There are people all around that it has served 
I know how you feel 
I have been there before 
But now it's up to you I can't do any more 

I can't wait for you another day 
Your attitude has got to change 
What else do you expect me to say 
Get off your ass or I'm on my way 

Maybe life is pointless and full of pain 
But slowly dragging through it drives me insane 
I know we were close and I will miss you 
But I can't wait around there's so much I want to do 

Don't blame it on the herb 
You get what you deserve 
There are people all around that it has served 
What can I do when you ask me for help? 
I have tried everything but you do it for yourself 

I know you just want to dull the pain 
But life goes fast and you stalled in the slow lane 
You know you're lagging and it's time to shift gears 
And blow this rut you have been stuck in for years 

Now it's time, it's time for a change
