Wasted On You

Strung out in Ypsilanti
I lost you 'bout a year ago
The wind it was leaning, a freight train screaming
In the twilight through the valley below
You were moving slow
Laying on the bedroom floor
Looked in your eyes and tethered 'bove our head our hands together But your eyes were somewhere else out the door
Outside the world was tender as a sponge
We watched out the glaciers mеlt
And the stock market plunge

I don't carе if it's true
My mind's wasted on you

What's the worst that I can do
Can't hurt myself if I can hurt you
Am I better or getting sick
Or running from myself to get away with it
I saw some people standing over a hill
Long black veils hammering down the nails
Wanna see somebody hurt, you know, the way I do
But nothing seems to change the way I feel about you
I see some stray dogs playing by the funeral pyre
Leaves of ash falling on my window by the fire

And I can't see through
My mind's wasted on you
