Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You'll never be
A better kind
If you don't leave (The world)
The world behind
[PreChorus]
Waste my days (Waste my days)
You're drowned aways (Drowned aways)
[Chorus]
It's just the thought of you in love with someone else
It breaks my heart to see you hangin' from your shelf
[Verse 2]
You'll never do
The things you want
If you don't move
And get a job
[PreChorus]
Waste my days (Waste my days)
You're drowned aways (Drowned aways)
[Chorus]
It's just the thought of you in love with someone else
It breaks my heart to see you hangin' from your shelf
[Verse 3]
Oh girl, when I'm in love with you
Keep fishin' if you feel it's true
There's nothing much that we can do
To save you from yourself
[PreChorus]
Waste my days (Waste my days)
You're drowned aways (Drowned aways)
[Chorus]
It's just the thought of you in love with someone else
It breaks my heart to see you hangin' from your shelf
[Verse 4]
Oh girl, when I'm in love with you
Keep fishin' if you feel it's true
There's nothing much that we can do
To save you from yourself
[Outro]
You'll never be a better kind
You'll never be a better kind
Waste my days (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Waste my days (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Waste my days (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Waste my days
Waste my days
Waste my days
Waste my days
