Maya breaks down the meaning of this song in a Youtube video titled “MAY-A – Behind the Music – Time I Love to Waste”
The song was written for a girl she had fallen for, but wasn’t sure if she reciprocated her feelings. Through this song, Maya illustrates what it’s like to fall in love in a heteron...
[Verse 1]
Uh, uh
Card games with a cup of coffee
Not clear, but I hope she loves me
Smart minds with a stupid proxy
Line's getting fuzzy
My hands on your green knit sweater
Eyes sweet, but her lips were better
Cold skin with a burnin' temper
So we'll remember
[Pre-Chorus]
She's the fire, I'm the trees
She's so far out of my league
She's a hurricane, I'm just a breeze
She's the time I love to waste
[Chorus]
I'd let the girl live right through my wallet
Give hеr all my things, empty my pockets
She takеs me crossroads, far from things I know
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
[Verse 2]
Brown eyes, but her cheeks were pink
Blue hands on your purple skin
We're making a masterpiece
A contrast of feelings
Cut back with your good intentions
So loud, but I never mentioned
Desperate for your attention
Give me a second
[Pre-Chorus]
She's the fire, I'm the trees
She's so far out of my league
She's a hurricane, I'm just a breeze
She's the time I love to waste
[Chorus]
I'd let the girl live right through my wallet
Give her all my things, empty my pockets
She takes me crossroads, far from things I know
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
[Bridge]
Feel it in your touch
Hear it in your tone
You've been hurt just as much
I'd never let you go (I'd never let you go)
[Chorus]
I'd let the girl live right through my wallet
Give her all my things, empty my pockets
She takes me crossroads, far from things I know
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
I'd let the girl live right through my wallet (She's the fire, I'm the trees)
Give her all my things, empty my pockets (She's so far out of my league)
She takes me crossroads, far from things I know (She's a hurricane, I'm just a breeze)
There's no place like home (She's the time I love to waste)
There's no place like home
[Outro]
She's the fire, I'm the trees
She's so far out of my league
She's a hurricane, I'm just a breeze
She's the time I love to waste

“Time I Love To Waste” was written on the same day as “Apricots.” Both were written in the space of 3 hours and are about the same girl. I was sure she liked me when I was writing it, but I’d personally never been interested in someone the way that I was into her. I was completely enamoured. I wante...
