Welcome to the New Teflon! Updated 14 May 2003

Soundtrack:

I stayed awake for hours again last night
Searching for a reason to keep up the fight
I've made choices I don't regret
I've got problems I don't get
I didn't want to carry the heavier load
You can't always take the middle road
There comes a time when you make up your mind
And the point gets left behind

Oh let's wait one more day for the conversation
One more day to make it right
Let's get away from the confrontation
One more day just buying time

For years and years you can drift alone
And write another verse to an endless song
Wait one more day till the time is right
Hoping that you both see the light
You won't see the light

Oh let's wait one more day for the conversation
One more day to make it right
Let's get away from the confrontation
One more day just buying time

I'm not afraid to sleep alone
I'm not afraid to be alone

Stayed awake for hours again last night
Just searching for a reason to keep up the fight
I've made choices I don't regret
But I've got problems and problems and problems and problems...

Oh let's wait one more day for the conversation
One more day to make it right
Let's get away from the confrontation
One more day just buying time
--Great Big Sea, "Buying Time"
