Wasted (Live on Letterman)

Wasted

"Wasted"


Standing at the back door

She tried to make it fast

One tear hit the hard wood

It felt like broken glass

She said sometimes love slips away

And you just can't get it back

Let's face it


For once this second

She almost turned around

But that would be like pouring rain

Back into a cloud

So she took another step and said

I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it


I don't wanna' spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted


Another glass of whisky and it still don't kill the pain

So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain

He says it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday

Face it.


Cause' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted


Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing

But still every morning' the color of the night

I ain't spending no more time

Wasted


She kept drivin' along

Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side

He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear

For the first time in a while


Hey, yeah,

Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted


Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing

But still every morning' the color of the night

I ain't spending no more time

Wasted


Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted


Yeah, yeah

Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing

But still every morning' the color of the night

I ain't spending no more time

Wasted
