Wasted
Tiësto(Tiësto;Matthew Koma) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
It makes it easier to say it
Lay all your laundry on the bed
And then I'll lay in it instead
Oh oh oh oh
You are a glass half empty
Sipping my ocean dry
Emotionally spent me
Til none of our planets could align
But I could stand you one more night
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
Oh oh oh oh
You are a catch 22
Either way I miss out
All of the grief I'd 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 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
Oh oh oh oh
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
Oh oh oh oh
The lyrics of Tiësto's song Wasted, featuring Matthew Koma, talks about how the singer feels more comfortable and open when he and his lover are drunk. The singer enjoys the lack of inhibitions and the ability to be vulnerable with one another when they are under the influence of alcohol. The song suggests that it might be easier for the couple to express their emotions when they are not sober.
The lyrics also talk about the ups and downs of a relationship. The singer describes their partner as a "glass half empty" and a "catch 22," indicating that their relationship is a double-edged sword. The singer feels emotionally drained by their partner but can't seem to let go of the relationship. They know that they might be better off without the energy-draining relationship, but they continue to stay for one more night.

Took me years to find. Couldn't remember the name of the song or the artist. Had to go to greatest songs and got lucky with the year.
