Wasted
Tiësto ft. 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 song "Wasted" by Tiësto ft. Matthew Koma is a love song that underscores the idea that people are more authentic with each other when they are not in their right minds. The lyrics express how the two people in the song like each other better when they are both drunk or high, and that the only time they truly connect is when they are in bed together.
The line "I like us better when we're wasted, it makes it easier to fake it" implies that they struggle with expressing their emotions sober, but when they are drunk, they are more at ease with opening up. The line "Lay all your laundry on the bed and then I'll lay in it instead" is metaphorical and suggests that when they are both vulnerable, they are able to connect more deeply.
The lyrics ultimately reveal a paradoxical situation - they love each other but they cannot be together sober. It's a sad realization, but for now, they are content with being together when they are "wasted." The song effectively captures the feeling of being in a relationship where one is not comfortable with showing their true self and the ease that comes with being drunk or high in each other's company.

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.
