Wasted
Tisto feat. 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 Tiesto feat. Matthew Koma's song Wasted describe a relationship that seems to work better when the couple is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The chorus, "I like us better when we're wasted," suggests that they are more honest and intimate with each other when they are intoxicated, as it is easier to "fake it" and "say it." They seem to have trouble communicating and connecting on an emotional level when sober, but when they are drunk, they can "lay all [their] laundry on the bed" and be vulnerable with each other.
The verses give more details about the dynamics of the relationship. The second verse describes the singer's partner as emotionally draining, but they are willing to tolerate it for "one more night." The third verse says that being with their partner is a "catch 22" because they will miss out either way - either on the good parts of the relationship or on the grief and pain that come with it. Despite this, they still prefer to be "wasted" together.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated and possibly dysfunctional relationship that relies on substances to keep it going. The chorus repeats the idea that being "wasted" together is the ideal state for this couple, indicating that they may have trouble maintaining the relationship otherwise.

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.
