Wasted
Virginia To Vegas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what I gotta do, cause I don't understand you
Can we have some fun? That isn't only in the bedroom

Cause I don't wanna be cool, don't wanna be casual
I don't wanna be used

You only call me when you're wasted, 2 A.M
Cause you just wanna end up naked in my bed
And it's been fun, but I've been thinking, thinking
I don't want someone who only calls me when they're wasted
Who only calls me when they're wasted

I used to think that I should take whatever I was given
But I know what I want, and now I'm done with taking less than

Cause I don't wanna be cool, don't wanna be casual
I don't wanna be used

You'll only call me when you're wasted, 2 A.M
Cause you just wanna end up naked in my bed
And it's been fun, but I've been thinking, thinking
I don't want someone who only calls me when they're wasted
Who only calls me when they're wasted
You'll only call me when you're wasted
You'll only call me when you're wasted

You'll only call me when you're wasted, 2 A.M
Cause you just wanna end up naked in my bed
And it's been fun, but I've been thinking, thinking
I don't want someone who only calls me when they're wasted
Who only calls me when they're




You'll only call me when you're wasted, wasted, wasted
You'll only call me when you're wasted

Overall Meaning

In this song, Virginia To Vegas talks about a frustrating relationship where the other person only reaches out when they are drunk and looking for a hook up. The singer is tired of feeling used and wants something more substantial than just casual encounters. They want a connection that exists outside of the bedroom and someone who values them for more than just fulfilling a physical need. The use of "wasted" in the chorus is a double entendre, representing both the other person's intoxication and the idea that their efforts to connect are a waste of time unless they are also sober and genuine.


The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer expressing confusion over the other person's behavior and longing for more meaningful experiences. The second verse is a turning point, where the singer recognizes their own worth and decides that they no longer want to settle for anything less than what they truly want.


Overall, "Wasted" is a relatable and honest depiction of modern dating culture, where many people struggle to find authentic connections in a sea of casual encounters. The song's catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics make it a standout track that resonates with listeners of all ages.
