Wasted Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
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
And the beauty you heard
I see her talking with her hands
Well, I don’t think she knows
How she changed all my plans

[Verse 2]
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
Why? We look at the faces on your bedroom wall
Nobody’s perfect at all
Well, 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
And the beauty you heard
I see her talking with her hands
Well, I don’t think she knows
How she changed all my plans

[Post-Chorus]
The things that I thought would last
Well, they’re fading, they’re fading
The feelings I used to have
Well, they’re changing, they’re changing

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
They’re changing, they're changing now

Vance Joy via TheMusic.com.au:

I really like this song. It’s kind of been the one that we’ve most enjoyed playing live. I got the idea when I was at an open mic night and I saw a guy playing a cover of a Spencer P Jones song that was about a guy wondering why this girl is hanging around. He’s kind...
