Sing A Song With The Present Continuos

I'm sitting here in a boring room
it's just another rainy sunday afternoon
i'm wasting my time, i got nothing to do
i'm hanging around, i'm waiting for you
but nothing ever happens, and i wonder
I'm driving around in my car
i'm driving too fast, i'm driving too far
i'd like to change my point of view
i feel so lonely, i'm waiting for you
but nothing ever happens, and i wonder
