WASTED AWAY
written by john common

I'm about to start missing you, I can tell
last night's heaven turned into hell
I was out with a bunch of my friends
that's always how the story begins
I got that old feeling… I'm afraid that it's here to stay

wasted away, listening to records that we used to play
wasted away, I've been drinking all through the day
I'd be better off dead… better off dead

every unlucky girl that I meet, I compare to you
I know that's truly unfair, but it's true
all the hours I've wasted today
thinking of things that you used to say
I got that old feeling… I'm afraid that it's here to stay

well it's 2 am and I'm drunk on the kitchen floor
and my dog looks at me and walks out 'cause he's seen it before
I dial your number and wait
for you to pick up and tell me it's way too late
I've got that old feeling... I'm afraid that it's hear to stay

wasted away, listening to records that we used to play
wasted away, I've been drinking all through the day
I'd be better off dead… better off dead

The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
