Waste of Time Lyrics by Butterfly Garden

This Was Gonna Last

2022

[verse]
I'm surrounded
By crimson and evergreen
The gentle hiss of the autumn breeze
Comes and goes in waves
Caressing my cheek
As I remember the summer nights
While you'd drive me home and I'd show you my favorite songs
But you just let it fade away
And forced me
[Chorus]
To decide it was a waste of time
Waiting for you again
Decide it was a waste
Waiting here for you again looking out on the dying campus
Waiting for you again
Decide it was a waste
Believing empty promisеs and walking home in the streetlight
[verse]
Contrails intersеct in the sky
And slowly fade as red and yellow emanate from the horizon
I thought that I would have time to say I missed you
Thought that I would have time to unsever my hands in the violet haze of your neon room
And I remember September nights
Where the moon was waning, and my hope still hadn't faded
But the quiet sky of Halloween
It forced me
[Chorus]
To decide it was a waste of time
Waiting for you again
Decide it was a waste
Waiting here for you again, looking out on the dying campus
Waiting for you again
Decide it was a waste
Believing empty promises and walking home in the streetlight
[verse]
Just leave me in the cold
I’ll thaw out here
Under the constellations
That we named together
Whatever
Decide it was a waste
Decide it was a waste
[outro]
