Wasted Years
Maroon 5
Hands All Over (2010)

Slow is the memory

I can picture her standin' right in front of me

Orange blossoms crushed on concrete

I walk around with bare feet, 'cuz I know you want me



Can't remember anything

Her skin it tastes like sugar cane

And I had already gotten there before I came

My tank is empty and I know you're thirsty



But I have already tried to explain myself

It's not that I love someone else

But I can't bear to listen to your cry, yeah

I'm sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to dry

No, no, no, no, no, no, yeah



And I'll see you when I get back

Maybe we can get ourselves back on the right track

You touch me there because you know how much I like that

I think that we will need to relax 'cuz I know you want
me



All the time and everywhere

A happy surface but the underbelly isn't there

The worst thing is that I don't even really care

The emptiness is too much to bear



But I have already tried to explain myself

It's not that I love someone else

But I can't bear to listen to your cry

I'm sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to



C'mon c'mon, get off the phone, please, come home

It's been so lonely since you've been gone

Your love surround me, up and down me

Be all around me, baby, I can't breathe no more



C'mon c'mon, get off the phone, please, come home

It's been so lonely since you've been gone

Your love surround me, up and down me

Be all around me, baby, I can't breathe no more



But I have already tried to explain myself

It's not that I love someone else

But I can't bear to listen to your cry

I'm sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to dry



Sick of all these wasted years

A rag for someone else's tears

I wring you out as I hang you out to, to, dry

To try, try to get back home



Try, you try, yeah
