lyrics
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me.
This time you went too far from here
I'll cast a line before you disappear
I've been writing letters home in hopes you'll be alone
Because I'm not the kind to sit back and condone.
Don’t think you're getting better, I doubt you're really happy
Spending all these nights awake.
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me.
I should be out tonight instead
of thinking of you
I think you're not the one for me.
As days slip by I feel the lack of sunlight.
There’s a bitter emptiness that's tearing me inside.
Try to forget the unwritten story
Of how you left, just dipped and ignored me.
Left me in the dark
searching for light
Don't condescend because you know that I'm right.
No, I'm not getting better, I know that I'm not happy
Spending all these nights away.
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me.
I should be out
tonight instead of thinking of you
I think you're not the one for me.
No, you're not the one I thought you would become
I played the fool, I am my father's son.
Getting better's overrated, I realize that I am fated
To be alone while you bide your time.
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me.
Wish I was out tonight with you
I think you're not the one for me, yea.
No, you’re not the one for me.
For me, for me.
No, you’re not the one for me.
Wish you'd find some time for me.
This time you went too far from here
I'll cast a line before you disappear
I've been writing letters home in hopes you'll be alone
Because I'm not the kind to sit back and condone.
Don’t think you're getting better, I doubt you're really happy
Spending all these nights awake.
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me.
I should be out tonight instead
of thinking of you
I think you're not the one for me.
As days slip by I feel the lack of sunlight.
There’s a bitter emptiness that's tearing me inside.
Try to forget the unwritten story
Of how you left, just dipped and ignored me.
Left me in the dark
searching for light
Don't condescend because you know that I'm right.
No, I'm not getting better, I know that I'm not happy
Spending all these nights away.
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me.
I should be out
tonight instead of thinking of you
I think you're not the one for me.
No, you're not the one I thought you would become
I played the fool, I am my father's son.
Getting better's overrated, I realize that I am fated
To be alone while you bide your time.
You're biding time through your early twenties
Wish you'd find some time for me.
Wish I was out tonight with you
I think you're not the one for me, yea.
No, you’re not the one for me.
For me, for me.
No, you’re not the one for me.

This rapidly rose to become one of my favourite albums, and has been on repeat since hearing it. A constant theme runs throughout which makes this an album, not just a collection of songs in a way I haven't heard before. Classic pop-punk sing-alongs, hardcore screaming, along with some synth (!) sections - Its such a mix, but it comes together so well. Picking a favourite song does the whole album a disservice - its a package deal. Treat yourself to a listen.

Letters To Our Former Selves
by Youth Fountainsupported by 8 fans who also own “Biding Time”
Thanks for helping me get through separating with the first person I had a real relationship with. Manages to be excellent sad pop punk a la The Story So Far except with an actual singer and lyrics that aren’t misogynistic like TSSF and so many bands of that cohort.
