Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna waste
My life
With you
Oh yeah
Well, the look in your eyes
Says you're feelin' the same
Way too
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
The look in your eyes
Is as sharp as a cold
Knife fighter
Oh yeah
Cuttin' me through
Yeah, the feelin' is true
I really wonder
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Give me a sign
Tell me, what shall I do?
Say that you're mine
And you're feelin' it too
I made up my mind, yeah
All of the time
You know, I wonder
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
I wanna waste
My life
With you
Oh yeah
Well, the look in your eyes
Says you're feelin' the same way too
Oh yeah
[Verse 5]
Tell me, pretty bird
How's that baby blue?
I'm just tryna catch a feel from you
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 6]
Now the curtain is closed
You got me feelin' exposed
Hallelujah
Oh yeah
Holdin' my hand, yeah
The voice in my head
I really wonder
Oh yeah
[Verse 7]
I started to fall
And I went straight through the floor
Down on my knees
You got me beggin' for more
I made up my mind, yeah
I put in the time
Because I wanna
Oh yeah
[Verse 8]
I wanna waste
My life
With you
Oh yeah
Well, the look in your eyes
Says you're feelin' the same way too
Oh yeah
Give me a sign
Tell me, what shall I do?
I'm just tryna catch a feel
[Verse 9]
I wanna waste
My life
With you
Oh yeah
Tell me, pretty bird
How's that baby blue?
I'm just tryna catch a feel
