Wasted Light Songtext
von David Pfeffer

That time when we were crossin′ the Atlantic
The moment that we reached the middle
You turned to me, you said somethin' romantic
"I′ve won the race and you're the medal"

And all the ocean liners we were passin'
Had nothin′ on our sail and whistle
And as the waves were rollin′ we were dancin'
Like we had enough to lose a little

So sure
We were contenders
So strong
And willin′ to fight

But it's a long way down when you′re far from the ground
And I've been fallin′ most of my life
And though the sun shines on even after you're gone
I feel sorry for the wasted light
Wasted light


Spill off the port into a crowded main street
Lookin' for somewhere to settle
And soon enough we′re lost inside the mystery
We′ll be strangers before the night has settled
With so much to say, we said too little

Back then
We were pretenders
So young
And ready to fight, oh

But it's a long way down when you′re far from the ground
And I've been fallin′ most of my life
And though the sun shines on even after you're gone
I feel sorry for the wasted light
Oh, I feel sorry for the wasted light

And it′s a long way down when you're far from the ground
I've been fallin′ most of my life
And though the clock ticks on even after you′re gone
I'm just shakin′ hands with wasted time
I'm still prayin′ you'll come home one night

Oh, it′s a long way down
When you are far from the ground
And the sun shines on even after you're gone
I feel sorry for the wasted light
I'm still prayin′ you′ll come home one night


So here I am crossin' the Atlantic
Maybe see you at the middle
