Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I must dreaming again, 'cause you were more than a friend
But when I open my eyes, I'm all alone in my bed
I'd take her out to the bar, I know I wouldn't get far
'Cause she hates standing in line, and all I got is
[PreChorus]
High hopes, but I need to be realistic
I know that this might take a thousand wishes
[Chorus]
I get heart palpitations
When I think of you naked
She said maybe in another life
What a beautiful waste of time
What a beautiful waste of time
[Verse 2]
I got some competition, I know that I'll never win
'Cause every guy that she's with has something better to give
Like getting drunk in Tulum, private jet set the mood
And I'd cry, but I can't afford to
[PreChorus]
High hopes, but I need to be realistic
I know that she needs more than optimistic
[Chorus]
I get heart palpitations
When I think of you naked
She said maybe in another life
What a beautiful waste of time
What a beautiful waste of time
What a beautiful waste of time
[Bridge]
What a beautiful waste
What a beautiful waste of
What a beautiful waste
[Chorus]
I get heart palpitations
When I think of you naked
She said maybe in another life
What a beautiful waste of time
What a beautiful waste of time
[Outro]
What a beautiful waste of time
What a beautiful waste of time
What a beautiful waste of time
