Wasted Time Lyrics by McKenna Patchen

Close

2022

[Verse 1]
Long ago in a dream
People roamed the streets
I didn’t see you on a screen
Your smile was warm and sweet
Now we live between the lines
[Chorus 1]
I can leave my house and go
Outside and see the birds and the trees
I can count the hours waiting
For time to pass, cause this won’t last
But when it’s all over I want to find
That it was never wasted time
[Verse 2]
Every sunset I see
I wonder if the next
One you’ll be here with me
So I’m waiting patiently
Watching as the sun goes down
[Chorus 2]
I can leave my house and go
Outside and see the birds and the trees
I can count the hours waiting
For time to pass, cause this won’t last
But when it’s all over I want to find
That it was never wasted time
[Bridge 1]
It’ll all be alright
Getting closer every day
But if we don’t take our time
The time is gonna take us away
[Chorus 3]
I can leave my house and go
Outside and see the birds and the trees
I can count the hours waiting
For time to pass, cause this won’t last
And when it’s all over I’m gonna find
That it was never wasted time
