Wasted Light Songtext
von Northwest

This is the place
Where I used to sit
In front of the window
Waiting for the sun
I remember
This house used to have
Such a beautiful light
Oh, wasted light!
Turned into dark in our hands
We changed the house
The color of walls
And moved the furniture
But the light was gone
And so was our youth


And in silence you smoked
And we missed each other getting old and
Wasted time
Turned into dust in your lungs
And in silence I choked
And we missed each other getting old and
Wasted time
Turned into past in my eyes

Who is the one in front of me?
Whose is the face I see in the mirror?
In front of the window
Waiting for the sun
I remember
The light in your eyes
Shut down like a fire
Oh, wasted light!
Could have enlightened this house
We changed it all
The color of walls
And moved the furniture
But the light was gone
And so was our youth


And in silence you smoked
And we missed each other getting old and
Wasted time
Turned into dust in your lungs
And in silence I choked
And we missed each other getting old and
Wasted time
Turned into past in my eyes
