The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was standing on the edge of it. I was looking down. I was getting sick.
But you were sitting on the shore looking beautiful and bored.
So I took a step and I felt the air and I drank it down 'til it wasn't there.
And then I saw the ocean floor. And then I only wanted more.
Because it's all just a waste of time. Yeah, it's all just a waste of time. Yeah, it's all just a waste of time.
Yeah, it's all such a waste of time.
Last night we stayed out too late. We were so sure that it was our fate.
But the night-flower that blooms is a disgrace at noon.
So I looked you up in the big phone book. I had butterflies. They had sharpened hooks.
And I was sitting on the floor just waiting for the score.
And now it's all just a waste of time. Yeah, it's all just a waste of time/ Yeah it's all just a waste of time.
Yeah, it's all such a waste of time.
Well you don't know that. You just think you're doing what you should.
The stars come out at night I think I....
I was searching for you on the shore. There were bodies there, but nothing more. And then I knew what I was for.
And I was nothing more than a shadow passing through your world. I was all of it, and I was nothing, girl.
And now I'm sitting on the shore. And I only want more.
Because it's all just a wast of time. Yeah, it's all just a waste of time. Yeah, it's all just a waste of time.
Yeah, it's all such a waste of time.
