Are You Gonna Waste My Time?
Zeus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sittin’ in your garden grove,
Watching the flowers grow,
Tell you whats on my head,
You didn’t hear a thing I said,
And Im breaking down from it all,
See your point, but not at all.
You’ll still be rockin’ til the earliest sun rise,
You’ll wait a minute, til’ the glorious moonlight,
Oh no, can you feel it in your spine?
The force of gravity and weight on your mind,
And then I got sick from the cigarette,
Even more when I think of it.
So let’s not make some kind of scene,

'Cause I don’t wanna waste my time,
Always trying to be right,
Don’t really know what to do, whats going on with you?
Whats running through your head, whats that last thing you said?
You said, are you gonna waste my time? Are you gonna be mine?

Easy come, easy go, l so put it down and let it go,
You tell me something I don’t want to know,
And I can see you through my ruby reds,
Break.

You said, are you gonna waste my time? Are you gonna be mine?
You said, are you gonna waste my time? Are you gonna be mine?




You said, are you gonna waste my time? Are you gonna be mine?
You said, are you gonna waste my time? Are you gonna be mine?

I was brought here by the JHS pedals channel, so damn glad I did. How have I never heard of you guys? Brilliant classic feel with so many influences, and an obvious love for cakes and party food. Tasty chops indeed!!!

@jackieohehir3259

so was i !!!!!

@ryandyc

Pretty damn good band, I remember seeing them live as the opening band to bright eyes. This song has a very rhythmical feeling, its pretty easy to jam to.

@kriztin1000

Found this song on spotify. It's so chill, perfect for summer.

@NePtUnEsToRm1995

I love this song it is bringing back rock and roll!!!!

@Manoelluthieri

sensacional...muito bom

@aromaniw

as i'm sure you know, BSS includes quite a few Canadians indie artists from many different acts. They influence the genre so much in this country that it sounds like everyone is imitating. But I agree, Zeus is killer and original for sure.

@joeyjack79

I've played this on my radio show two weeks in a row!

@TheVancouverMan

Saw them at Aargau in Switzerland, as an opening act for Dan Mangan. They really got the mood going!

@buimaroo

Amazing!!! Everything I love about life, dogs, food, good music!
