Wasted

I'm coming down again, across the yellow room

Our lives are disconnected much too soon

I understand that I'm not the one you need

But we're tied to the things that we can't control

And now it's washin' over me

I don't need to make you mine

I don't need to compromise

I don't need to magnify what's lost

And I don't wanna drag you in

To what you can't escape, my friend

I just wanna turn inside, in here

Yeah, the bees fly by like a chaos in the slats

I need a dream, I can't escape

Got no place to run and hide

And I need your kiss

Like a drifting morning mist

I get sucked into the theater

Alright, I can't resist

Babe, I know it's getting late

I don't wanna hesitate

Never want to make you wait so long

'Cause you got to fight to win

You know I can't let go again

I just wanna turn inside and peer

You won't interfere

I'm not asking you, I'm returning

Wake me up when the lights go low

I'm just wasted, but you're lost in London

Sometimes you just ain't getting enough

You've been on my mind

The days you move so slow

I'm just tired in a way that I can't explain

It's like I'm losing all control

I was laying and

My hands are cold as you lost your metal wings

I'm alive, and I'm trying not to think too hard

About it coming back again

I just wanna learn to fly

Under these romantic skies

I don't need to compromise our love

But I'm about to drag you in

And no you can't go home again

I just wanna learn in time to heal

I'm not asking you

I'm returning

Wake me up when you're lights go low

I'm just wasted and you

Are lost in London

Sometimes you just ain't good enough

I just want to learn to turn it off and

I just wanna run to town

Uhm, let's do that again
