Waste the day
The Secret Sisters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waste the day
Waste the night
I want you to be alright
When I'm gone I hope your bed's still warm
And that you find another charming girl to hold

You tight
Waste the day

Waste the night
Just like you wasted mine, pretty baby

Wouldn't take a special girl
To hold you as you dream
Just a pair of loving arms is all you need
But she wouldn't last too long
In the morning she'd be gone
Did you notice I'm still here
After all these wasted years?

Waste the day
Waste the night
I want you to be alright

When I'm gone I hope your bed's still warm
And that you find another charming girl to hold

You tight
Waste the day
Waste the night
Just like you wasted mine, pretty baby

Waste the day
Waste the night
I want you to be alright
When I'm gone I hope your bed's still warm
And that you find another charming girl to hold

You tight
Waste the day
Waste the night

Just like you wasted mine, pretty baby
Just like you wasted mine, pretty baby

However, the woman knows that the new girl will not last long and will eventually leave him. The line "Did you notice I'm still here after all these wasted years?" shows that the woman has been with him for a long time, but he has not appreciated or treated her well.

Line by Line Meaning

Waste the day
Let's not use our time productively

Waste the night
Let's not make good use of the night either

I want you to be alright
I care about your well-being

When I'm gone I hope your bed's still warm
I hope we have good memories that last even after I go away

And that you find another charming girl to hold you tight
I want you to find love and happiness, even if it's not with me

Just like you wasted mine, pretty baby
You didn't make good use of the time we spent together

Wouldn't take a special girl to hold you as you dream
You don't need someone extraordinary to be there for you

Just a pair of loving arms is all you need
All you need is affection and support

But she wouldn't last too long, in the morning she'd be gone
She may not stick around for long, but that's okay

Did you notice I'm still here, after all these wasted years?
I'm still around despite all the time we wasted together
