To make it all worthwhile 
All your useless presentations
Are weighing on my time 
You could beg for forgiveness 
As long as you like 
Or just wait out the evening 
And always ask me why 
Yes you'll only leave me dry 
So I'll ask you kindly to make your way 

And what was there 
The perfect glare 
We all fall through 

While you wait on the answers 
That I'll pretend to find 
Keeping up with emotions 
Still occupies our time 
You could hope for substance 
As long as you like 
Or just wait out the evening 
And always ask me why 
Yes you'll always ask me why 
I'll ask you kindly to make your way 

And what was left 
The perfect glare 
We all fall through 

And all we want 

And what was there 
And what was there 
And what wasn't there
