Wasted Time

[BradG]

Well baby there you stand
With your little head down in your hands
Oh my God, I can’t believe it’s happening again
Your baby’s gone and your all alone and it looks like the end
Your back out on the street
And your trying to remember
How do you start it over
You don’t know if you can
Don’t care much for a stranger’s touch
But you can’t hold your man
You never thought you’d be alone this far down the line
I know what’s been on your mind
You’re afraid it’s all been wasted time
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you fell
You didn’t love the boy too much
no no you just loved the boy to well
So you live day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to make them go away
I could have done so many things baby if I could only stop my mind
From wondering what I’ve left behind
And from worrying ‘bout this wasted time
You know the love has come and gone
And the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me before you run out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together you got to leave it alone
So you can get on with your search baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn’t really wasted time.

I agree Hotel California is great but so are many of their other songs like this one.

You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can´t I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day

I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete

You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Where´s my friend I used to know
He´s all alone
He´s buried deep within a carcass
Searching for a soul

Can you feel me inside your heart
As it´s bleeding
Why can´t you belive you
Can´t be loved

I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation´s colors seem to fade to grey
And you´ll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end a memory

I never thought you´d let it get
This far, boy

Another similar song:

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm traveling on, far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by, in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it till it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day

So understand
Don't wast your time always searching
For those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize your living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands
I dot you on my mind
Dan't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't fine the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky

So understand
Don't wast your time always searching
For those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize your living in the golden years

So understand
Don't wast your time always searching
For those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize your living in the golden years

So understand
Don't wast your time always searching
For those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize your living in the golden years
