Wasted Afternoon

And you can’t blame yourself

Another wasted afternoon

Them tears won’t dry themselves,

Make it hard to see the room

And every step I make

There’s one more there ahead of me

Every firm handshake

My bones are breaking in my sleeves

 

And you can’t have it all

But you take it anyway

The night begins to fall

As you lose another day

 

Behavior of the day

Turns into habit of the week

Every month is near

The year’s getting away from me

 

And you can’t have it all

But you take it anyway

The writing’s on the wall

When it should be on the page

Won’t you come

And save me

Save me

 

And you can’t blame yourself

Another wasted afternoon

These cigarettes taste like hell

Make it hard to see the room

Waiting on the wave

That breaks and roll right over me

I’ve forgotten how to swim

Still remember how to breathe

 

And you can’t have it all

But you take it anyway

The shades already drawn

As you lose another day

Waiting on a wave

Saying, you can’t have it all
