"Unnecessary Things" lyrics

"Unnecessary Things"

She double parked her old car
Fading sun, door ajar
She says why walk when we could be driving
It's not the journey, it's how we're arriving

Dirty perfect, I forget
All my plans, with few regrets
She spends her money when she's got no savings
Only get older, what's the point in waiting?

Doing her own thing
Not banging on with dumb necessities
Finally found a girl that loving
Going her own way

We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking about
If in doubt unnecessary things always stick around
We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking about
If in doubt unnecessary things always stick around

You should be bored once in a while
Press pause, I'm in fast forward all the time
I'm restless for no cause
Breathless but no one's told us their dying

You find your limit
Wine next minute
I'm no critic
Don't take it when you can give it
Good guys keep living
But you're the villain

We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking about
If in doubt unnecessary things always stick around
We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking about
If in doubt unnecessary things always stick around
