Wasted Years

Slow is the memory

I can picture her standing right in front of me

Orange blossoms crushed on concrete

I walk around with barefeet

Cause I know you want me

Can't remember everything

Her sweat it tastes like sugar cane

And I had already gotten there before I came

My tank is empty

And I know you're thirsty

I have already tried to explain myself

It's not that I love someone else

But I can't bear to listen to you cry

I'm sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to dry

And I'll see you when I get back

Maybe we can get ourselves back on the right track

You touch me there because you know how much I like that

I think that we both need to relax

Cause I know you want me

All the time and everywhere

A happy surface but the underbelly isn't there

The worst thing is that I don't even really care

The emptiness is too much to bear

But I have already tried to explain myself

It's not that I love someone else

But I can't bear to listen to you cry

I'm sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to dry

But I have already tried to explain myself

It's not that I love someone else

But I can't bear to listen to you cry

I'm sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to dry

But I have already tried to explain myself

It's not that I love someone else

But I can't bear to listen to you cry

I'm sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to dry
