lyrics

Oh I can’t see your face now
If I let you go, will you come back another time?
So I can look forward
Oh we’re never done, are we babe?
So you say that I’m never fooled by
The depth of your eyes
I don’t agree but I say
I’m not what you want, babe

Well we waste our time on things we want
Why can’t i have you baby?
Why can’t I get you baby?
Waste our love on things that’ll never give it back
Why can’t i have you baby?
Why can’t I get you baby?

So you need help, well I’ve got you covered
I’m here when you need a summer day, something good
Coz I never had that
Don’t bend your rules if you don’t want to
But I think you do so I sit back and let things
Go how you play them

Well we waste our time on things we want
Why can’t i have you baby?
Why can’t I get you baby?
Waste our love on things that’ll never give it back
Why can’t i have you baby?
Why can’t I get you baby?
