Wasted Afternoon
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.
And you can't blame yourself
Another wasted afternoon
Them tears won't dry themselves,
Make it hard to see the room
And every step I make
There's one more there ahead of me
Every firm handshake
My bones are breaking in my sleeves
And you can't have it all
But you take it anyway
The night begins to fall
As you lose another day
Behavior of the day
Turns into habit of the week
Every month is near
The year's getting away from me
And you can't have it all
But you take it anyway
The writing's on the wall
When it should be on the page
Won't you come
And save me
Save me
And you can't blame yourself
Another wasted afternoon
These cigarettes taste like hell
Make it hard to see the room
Waiting on the wave
That breaks and roll right over me
I've forgotten how to swim
But I still remember how to breathe
And you can't have it all
But you take it anyway
The shades already drawn
As you lose another day
Waiting on a wave
Saying, you can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
You can't have it all
