Wasted
Squad Five-O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Foaming at the mouth when you walked on by
You do something to me whenever you get near me
And when you start to talkin', girl, you blow my mind
(I don't want you to go)
So keep talkin'
Why don't you tell me what is on your mind
I won't knock it
Feel so alive when you're by my side
I don't mean to stutter
I'm caught up in the moment
It's just lack of sleep
I've been up since early morning
The world just keeps on turning
Hey, we can't control it
But you gave me
Just one kiss for the meantime
We don't need nowhere to go
So lock the door and turn up the radio
We don't need nothing to do
I'll lock the world outside
And waste away with you
And waste away with you
And waste away with you
That's all I wanna do
Baby, I don't care if they say we got no future
Don't lay it on me, it's just a waste of time
If you get to feeling there's nothing to believe in
I got a remedy to ease your troubled mind
(I just want you to know)
That you've got it
You got the light so, baby, let it shine
(It don't matter at all)
They can't knock it
Don't understand us 'cause they never tried
I don't mean to stutter
I'm caught up in the moment
It's just lack of sleep
I've been up since early morning
The world just keeps on turning
Hey, we can't control it
But you gave me
Just one kiss for the meantime
We don't need nowhere to go
So lock the door and turn up the radio
We don't need nothing to do
I'll lock the world outside
And waste away with you
And waste away with you
And waste away with you
That's all I wanna do
I don't mean to stutter
I'm caught up in the moment
It's just lack of sleep
I've been up since early morning
The world just keeps on turning
Hey, we can't control it
But you gave me
Just one kiss for the meantime
We don't need nowhere to go
So lock the door and turn up the radio
We don't need nothing to do
I'll lock the world outside
And waste away with you
We don't need nowhere to go
So lock the door and turn up the radio
We don't need nothing to do
I'll lock the world outside
And waste away with you
And waste away with you
And waste away with you
That's all I wanna do
That's all
"Wasted" by Squad Five-O is a song about being with someone you love and just enjoying the moment without letting anyone, or anything, interfere. The beginning of the song talks about feeling trapped and frustrated: "I was feeling like a dog, I was backed into a corner, foaming at the mouth when you walked on by." But once the singer sees the one he loves, everything changes: "You do something to me whenever you get near me, and when you start to talking, girl, you blow my mind." The rest of the song talks about wasting away with this person, not needing anything else in the world but their company: "We don't need nowhere to go, so lock the door and turn up the radio. We don't need nothing to do, I'll lock the world outside."
The chorus is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the desire to waste away with this person and just enjoy their company. The verses talk about being caught up in the moment, lack of sleep, and the world turning without any control. It's about focusing on what truly matters and living in the present moment with the one you love.
Overall, "Wasted" is a song about the beauty of simplicity and appreciating the little things in life. It's about finding joy in being with the one you love and not needing anything else to feel complete. The song is upbeat and catchy, but the lyrics have a deeper meaning.
