Wasted
DUGUID Andy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are my glass half empty
Sipping my ocean dry
Emotionally spin me
'Till none of our planets could align
But I could stand you one more night

You are a catch-22, either way I miss out
All of the grief I give you

Is energy I can live without
But I could stand you one more night

I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to fake it
The only time we really talk
Is when our clothes are coming off
I like us better when we're wasted

I like us better when we're wasted
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed

And then I'll lay in it instead
I like us better when we're wasted

Line by Line Meaning

You are my glass half empty
You are my negative outlook on life

Sipping my ocean dry
You are taking everything from me until there's nothing left

Emotionally spin me
You are manipulating my emotions

'Till none of our planets could align
Until we are completely out of sync and can no longer connect

But I could stand you one more night
Despite everything, I tolerate you for just one more night

You are a catch-22, either way I miss out
No matter what I do, I lose

All of the grief I give you
All of my negative actions towards you

Is energy I can live without
It's not worth my time and effort

I like us better when we're wasted
I prefer us when we're under the influence

It makes it easier to fake it
It's easier to pretend everything is okay

The only time we really talk
The only time we have meaningful conversations
