Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe she'll dress up and look as good as ever
I wish I lit the match that burns in your eyes
I wish I sparked the fire that warms your heart
actually I didn't do anything, I wasted your time
Then when she said just go away forever
I don't want to see your face again
I'll wish myself so far from her
Maybe I'll try to start my life over
I'll probably just sleep it off instead
actually I didn't do anything at all
Wasting your time I just wasted all your time
Wasting all your time
