Wasted Time
Redeeming Moments: Navigating Life's Maze in Gabby Callwood's 'Wasted Time'
Lyrics
I know I got time, but there's time wasted
I acknowledge that I have time, but some of it is being wasted.
I keep looking back on my past, gotta face it
I frequently reflect on my past and need to confront it.
I can't trust my heart, but it keeps racing
I cannot rely on my heart, though it continues to beat rapidly.
Running too fast, now I can't pace it
I've been moving too quickly, and now I can't find a steady pace.
I been (I been)
Repetition of lines 1-4 for emphasis.
Searching for something, but found nothing (nothing)
I've been searching for something, but I haven't found anything.
But when I wanted nothing, I found something
Contrastingly, when I didn't actively seek anything, I found love.
It was your loving
The newfound love was sudden and abundant.
It hit so sudden, in an abundance
Emphasizing the impact of the love experience.
Oh ya
Expression of realization or affirmation.
I know I got time, but there's time wasted (I know I got time, but there's time)
Reiteration of having time, but some is being wasted.
I keep looking back on my past, gotta face it
Repeating the need to confront and deal with the past.
I can't trust my heart, but it keeps racing (I can't trust my heart)
Reiteration of distrust in the heart, despite its racing.
Running too fast, now I can't pace it (can't pace it)
Continued struggle with maintaining a steady pace in life.
I been getting mad at myself so I'm frustrated (frustrated)
Expressing frustration and self-directed anger.
Cause I was drinking from the world, but it's so tainted (so tainted)
Regret for being influenced by a tainted world.
Nonbelievers hit my line, we start debating
Mention of engaging in debates with nonbelievers.
But I don't wanna fight with you, I want eternal life for you
Desire for harmony and eternal life, not conflict.
I was wasting time on people that ain't loving me back
Admitting to wasting time on people who don't reciprocate love.
I need my God in my life, I was getting off track
Recognizing the need for a spiritual presence to stay on track.
I need somebody that been real ('body that been real)
Desire for genuine connections with real people.
Ya, y'all need to know the deal
Emphasizing the importance of understanding the situation.
Ya, you got what I need
Acknowledging that someone has what is needed.
You the missing puzzle piece
Seeing a specific person as the missing piece to completeness.
Casting my anxieties
Transferring worries and concerns to someone caring and reliable.
All on you, cause you care for me
Dependency on someone caring for emotional support.
Talking to the world cause they waste my life
Expressing dissatisfaction with the world and its impact on life.
Said I ain't got time but they waste mine (but they waste mine)
Others claim I have time, but they are wasting it instead.
And you a dime
Complimenting someone as being valuable.
You gave me all these chances when I deny
Acknowledging the opportunities given despite initial denial.
I need my God and you right by my side
Expressing the need for both God and a specific person's presence.
Said you gon ride until you die
Belief that the person will stay committed until death.
But then you died for my life
Highlighting the sacrifice of the person for the speaker's life.
I know I got time, but there's time wasted (I know I got time, but there's time)
Reiteration of having time, but some is being wasted.
I keep looking back on my past, gotta face it (gotta face my past this time)
Repeating the need to confront and deal with the past.
I can't trust my heart, but it keeps racing (I can't trust my heart)
Reiteration of distrust in the heart, despite its racing.
Running too fast, now I can't pace it (can't pace it)
Continued struggle with maintaining a steady pace in life.
I been getting mad at myself so I'm frustrated (frustrated)
Expressing frustration and self-directed anger.
Cause I was drinking from the world, but it's so tainted (so tainted)
Regret for being influenced by a tainted world.
Nonbelievers hit my line, we start debating (debating)
Mention of engaging in debates with nonbelievers.
But I don't wanna fight with you (but I don't wanna fight with you)

I want eternal life for you (you)
