Wasted

(album: Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance - 2004)

Her eyes are blue and her skin so white
her emails read just like a porno site
she wears her tank top way too tight
yeah, she knows it.
If she could lose her polaroids from that weekend
if she'd quit trying to make every boy her boyfriend
man, I think she could be president.
But it's wasted. And just like me you erased it. (oh no)

[CHORUS:]
You had the power to save my soul
I had the power to make you whole
We had the power and we had control, but we blew it.

The s you pulled goes 'round my head
I still see your face in every face in my bed
Tell me, was it something I said?
At the lake you lost my pretty toe ring
but in the grand scheme it doesn't really mean a thing;
you just spread your wings and you forget about it.
But, it's wasted. Like so many things, you erased it. (oh no)

[CHORUS:]
You had the power to defy my soul
I had the power to make you whole
We had the power and we had control, but we blew it
You had the power to save my soul
I had the power to make you whole
We had the power and we had control, but we blew it

You always call me when I'm at home
I try my best to drop the phone
but I'm drawn to you like a dog to a bone
And it's wasted.
