I Don't Want to Waste Your Time Songtext
von Over the Rhine

I don? t wanna waste your time
With music you don? t need
Why should I autograph the book
That you won? t even read

I got a different scar for every song
And blood left still to bleed
But I don? t wanna waste your time
With music you don? t need

I don? t wanna waste good wine
If you won? t stick around
I love to laugh but I? m more than just
Your alcoholic clown


I won? t pray this prayer with you
Unless we both kneel down
′Cause I don? t wanna waste good wine
If you won? t stick around

So, come on lighten up
Let me fill your cup
I? m just trying to imagine a situation
Oh, where we might have a real conversation, oh

But I don? t wanna waste the words
That you don? t seem to need
When it comes to wanting what? s real
There? s no such thing as greed

I hope this night puts down deep roots
I hope we plant a seed
? Cause I don? t wanna waste your time
With music you don? t need, oh
