The Time I've Wasted

(album: This Old Thing - 2016)

I could've walked around the world a couple times
I could've swam across the ocean and back again
Made a wish on every star that Galileo drew
For all the time I've wasted on you

I could've drowned a million beers in Mexico
Counted every piece of gravel on a long county road
Sailed that slow boat down to china, right up to the moon
For all the time I've wasted on you

Time goes by, when it's gone, it's gone
And you realize that time just lies
And you did not move on
No, you just cried, you just cried

I could've filled the Mississippi river with my tears
No telling what I could've done with all these years
I could've dug out the Grand Canyon with a spoon
Yeah, for all the time I've wasted on you

Time goes by, when it's gone, it's gone
And you realize that time just lies
And you did not move on
No, you just cried, you just cried

For everything I've lost, I'm not mad at love
I'd even give it one more day if I thought it'd be enough
I could've served five life sentences for a crime I didn't do
For all the time I've wasted on you
Yeah, for all the time I've wasted on you
