Wasted Time

Lyrics of Wasted Time by Vance Joy

Verse

Why, why do you go wasting your time on me?

You′re so beautiful now

There's so much that′s left for you now

Oh yeah, babe

Verse

And why, why do you go flashing those eyes at me?

You know that I'm eager to please

I've always been eager to please

Oh yeah, babe

Pre-chorus

But I′ve, I′ve got a lot to say

And I'm scared that you′re gonna slip away

And you, you've got this wide-eyed gaze

And a smile that you′ll carry through your days

Chorus

Oh, why?

Oh, why?

It's the easiest way

To know you′re alive

Chorus

And the beauty of her

I see her talking with her hands

Well, I don't think she knows

How she changed all my plans

Verse

Why, why do you go wasting your youth on me?

You're so beautiful now

There′s so much time left for you now

Oh yeah, babe

Verse

Why? We look at the faces on your bedroom wall

Nobody′s perfect at all

Sometimes it makes you feel small

Oh yeah, babe

Bridge

Well, I've, I′ve got a lot to say

And I'm scared that you′re gonna slip away

And you, you've got this wide-eyed gaze

And a smile that you′ll carry through your days

Chorus

Oh, why?

Oh, why?

It's the easiest way

To know you're alive

Chorus

And the beauty of her

I see her talking with her hands

Well, I don′t think she knows

How she changed all my plans

Hook

The things that I thought would last

Well, they′re fading, they're fading

The feelings I used to have

They′re changing, they're changing

Hook

The things that I thought would last

Well, they′re fading, they're fading

The feelings I used to have

They′re changing, they're changing, they're changing now

Outro

They′re changing, they′re changing now

Changing, they're changing now
