Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna be half baked

I don't wanna fall

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna waste a day

[Verse 2]

We used our Wednesdays like they were Fridays

Bread days like they were daily

We had our plans, but man, they were slippery

Sink or swim, or swim and slink, and get with me

[Verse 3]

Yeah, I'll be here

I'll be your friend

I'll be near

I'll be your friend

[Verse 4]

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna be half baked

I don't wanna fall

Never let it get too far

Never let it hit too hard

Never give it all

But I can feel the concrete sway

I can feel my heart give way

I could see myself 'cause

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna waste a day

[Verse 5]

Nobody needs to get over bad dreams

So bottle up that acid and ask me

To listen like I'm you and like you're me

So I'll shut up

And I'll take a seat

[Verse 6]

Yeah, I'll be here

I'll be your friend

Yeah, I'll be near

I'll be your friend

[Verse 7]

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna be half baked

I don't wanna fall

Never let it get too far

Never let it hit too hard

Never give it all

But I can feel the concrete sway

I can feel my heart give way

I could see myself 'cause

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna waste a day

[Verse 8]

Never give 'em gas, give 'em grace

(Never show your, back show your face)

Never show your back, show your face

(Better to attack than fade away)

Better to attack than fade away

(Let 'em get inside, ooh)

Let 'em get inside don't let em stay

[Verse 9]

Yeah, I'll be here

I'll be your friend

I'll be near

I'll be your friend

[Verse 10]

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna be half baked

I don't wanna fall

Never let it get too far

Never let it hit too hard

Never give it all

But I can feel the concrete sway

I can feel my heart give way

I could see myself 'cause

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna waste a day

[Verse 11]

I don't wanna fall

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna be half baked

I don't wanna fall

Never let it get too far

Never let it hit too hard

Never give it all

But I can feel the concrete sway

I can feel my heart give way

I could see myself 'cause

I don't wanna waste a day

I don't wanna waste a day
