Waste
The Arrows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'll be reckless, I'll be weak
If that shows You what You've done to me
What You've done, so perfectly
I'll waste every cent of me
Every beat and every sound
Trying just to get everyone on
And if they listen or if they don't
I'll still have You in the morning
That's the one thing that I know
That if they listen or if they don't
I'll still have You in the morning
That's the one thing that I know
And I'll waste every cent of me
Oh, I'll say a million goodbyes
If it means that You'll find faith in me
To see Your sons arise
And if they listen or if they don't
I'll still have You in the morning
That's the one thing that I know
That if they listen or if they don't
I'll still have You in the morning
That's the one thing that I know
I'll waste every cent of me
Oh, I'll empty this account
Paying You the tribute of my life
All to You, I pour it out
All to You I pour it out
All to You I pour it out
All to You I pour it out
All to You I pour it out
And if it happens or if it won't
You'll still find me when You come back home
Come back, 'cause that's the one thing that I'm sure
To depend on that
All to You I pour it out
All to You I pour it out
All to You I pour it out
