Jesus & Other Futile Things
Give Jesus a fish,
You'll feed him for a day
And feed the 5000 in front of your eyes
But, teach Jesus to fish
With the power and the glory
You'll make a net prophet of the biblical kind
I remember when you said to me
It seems the best things in life are free, and who am I to disagree
All the time I wasted on futile things
I had no idea I'd miss you so much
Retrospect brings such clarity in spite of bad luck
I try harder to love you now you're gone
If I add up the hours, I'll make a second life
And bring you back into my arms
I pray at night for extra hours
The clock ticks faster when I'm at last ready to study away
Television is the greatest carcinogen
Taking the mick, watching them all stagnate in front of its eyes
I remember when you used to say
It's easy to resent the things in your life, that steal your time away
All the time I wasted on futile things
I had no idea I'd miss you so much
Retrospect brings such clarity in spite of bad luck
I try harder to love you now you're gone
If I add up the hours, I'll make a second life
And bring you back into my arms
All the time I wasted on futile things
I had no idea I'd miss you so much
Retrospect brings such clarity in spite of bad luck

And I spent so much time on Facebook, and now I can't remeber how your face looked
If I add up the hours, I'll make a second life
And bring you back into my arms
All the time I wasted on futile things
I had no idea I'd miss you so much
Retrospect brings such clarity in spite of bad luck
And I spent so much time on Facebook, and now I can't remeber how your face looked
If I add up the hours, I'll make a second life
And bring you back into my arms
All the time I wasted on futile things
I had no idea I'd miss you so much
Retrospect brings such clarity in spite of bad luck
I try harder to love you now you're gone
If I add up the hours, I'll make a second life
And bring you back into my arms
I felt your touch
I miss you so much
I should've been with you, I should've been with you.
I should've been, I should've been with you.
I should've been with you, I should've been with you.
I should've been, I should've been with you.
So I've been feasting on things that're wasting away (The image of your smile fades)
Oh, cannot get it back, cannot get it back
Should've been, should've been you.
All this time I wasted on futile things, (did I lose track of reality)
Down on my knees, I'm telling him I should've been with you
Where are you now? (I could've done anything else)
Oh, cannot get it back, cannot get it back
Should've been, should've been you (The image of your smile fades)
On the internet, watching TV, sitting here strumming my guitar
All this time, I should've been, I should've been with you.
