  • And I don't think that that's a selfish want, I really don't
    I'm not saying that I have this capacity
    Because it's hard to develop that capacity on your own
    When you're being stopped at every turn

    Drive around, night time, nowhere to go
    Melt me down, I'm like wax to your jokes
    Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low
    And there's no point reliving crimes to lose this

    Still wanna waste all of my time
    I wanna waste all of my time
    Still wanna waste all of my time
    I wanna waste all of my time
    With you

    Oh my lover, my lover, my love
    We can never go back
    We can only do our best to recreate
    Don't turn over, turn over the page
    We should rip it straight out
    Then let's try our very best to fake it

    Show me joy, flower through disarray
    Let's destroy, each mistake that we made
    Then restore the color back to the grey
    There's no pride in sharing scars to prove it

    Still wanna waste all of my time
    I wanna waste all of my time
    Still wanna waste all of my time
    I wanna waste all of my time
    With you

    Oh my lover, my lover, my love
    We can never go back
    We can only do our best to recreate
    Don't turn over, turn over the page
    We should rip it straight out
    Then let's try our very best to fake it

    Help me turn a blind eye
    Days and nights we lost to weakness
    Help me turn a blind eye
    Days and nights we lost to weakness

    Oh my lover, my lover, my love
    We can never go back
    We can only do our best to recreate
    So don't turn over, turn over the page
    We should rip it straight out
    Then let's do our very best to fake it
    Oh my lover, my lover, my love
    We can never go back
    We can only do our best to recreate
    Don't turn over, turn over the page
    We should rip it straight out
    Then let's do our very best to fake it Writer/s: DANIEL CAMPBELL SMITH, MARK CREW

  • Deborah Atianne Wilson from Boulder ColoradoGIVING CREDIT TO WOMAN"S VOICE AT THE BEGINNING: Life is wild...Would love to give credit to Elin Terry Friend who is the woman at the beginning of this song who is speaking. This audio is taken from a counterculture film titled "Changing" a short film done of my family included in a series of films entitled "The Social Seminar" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Seminar ~ Terry and her husband who are in the film became good friends of my parents after my brother and I met their daughter in our neighborhood. These films were shown all over the country for educational purposes. I am so thankful to my parents for saying yes to doing this film. What a perfect example of what we choose to do ripples out far beyond anything we can imagine. I would love to know how this piece of film history came to be part of this song. Peace
