John Ralston — I Guess I Wasted My Summer Now lyrics

Lyrics

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 of time
Well you don’t know that. You just think you’re doing what you should
The stars come out at night I think 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 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
