The Spills — Waste and Pine lyrics

Lyrics

It turned out easy
Pretending nothing pleased me Now it’s something I can’t leave alone
What good did that do To spend youth
Kicking and screaming through middle age?
How many years
Should that take?
Should I change my outlook?
Pretend that fear and hope are not the same?
Put the plug back in its place?
Getting to a healthy place won’t make my life go Getting to a better place won’t make my life go any slower
Maybe fix myself
A drink
Maybe a drink will fix me Dilute my senses at the least
And when I finally
Get through
Kicking and screaming to middle age
Let’s hope there’s still some time to waste
And waste away
Getting to a healthy place won’t make my life go Getting to a better place won’t make my life go any slower
Getting to a healthy place won’t make my life go Getting to a better place won’t make my life go any slower
I just want to Love something I can’t
Throw away
I just want to Love something I can’t
Throw away
I just want to Love something I can’t
Throw away
I just want to Love something I can’t
Throw away
There’s something dark, dumb and painful
That I can’t seem to leave alone
I can’t seem to leave alone
That I can’t seem to leave alone
