Waste and Pine Songtext
von The Spills

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
