I was standing on the edge of it
I was looking down, I was getting sick
But you were sitting on the shore
Looking beautiful and bored
So I took a step and I felt the air
And I drank it down 'til it wasn't there
And then I saw the ocean floor
And then I only wanted more
Because it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all such a waste of time
Last night we stayed out too late
We were so sure that it was our fate
But the night-flower that blooms
Is a disgrace at noon
So I looked you up in the big phone book
I had butterflies, they had sharpened hooks
And I was sitting on the floor
Just waiting for the score
And now it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all such a waste
You don't know that
You just think you're doing what you should
The stars come out at night, I thought I
I was searching for you on the shore
There were bodies there, but nothing more
And then I knew what I was for
And I, I was nothing more
Than a shadow passing through your world
I was all of it, and I was nothing, girl
And now I'm sitting on the shore
And I only want more
Because it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all such a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just
Coz, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
Yeah, it's all just a waste of time
