Lyrics

It Wasn't Wasted


we try to let it go
we leave and come back
just pretend we forgot our keys or our hat
we try to behave but the moon's out of whack
we're geniuses between the nightcap and the dawn attack

but this puzzle's nothing new
it belongs to the human race not just me and you

decade after decade
season after season
someone's overthinking
there's always a reason

but wow the power of a beating heart
everybody gives 'til they fall apart

wish we could go back in time and tell them
under those old street lights
we are all just moments in time
and nothing honest is ever wasted
little darling it won't be wasted

generations over we learn the hard way
it's all been done before
and sure Bobby loves Suzy more
than any human ever loved another before

and it wasn't wasted it wasn't wasted it wasn't wasted
(repeat)

and wow the power of a beating heart
everybody gives 'til they fall apart

and it wasn't wasted it wasn't wasted it wasn't wasted
(repeat)
