Lyrics

Whenever we try

Expressing the futility or difficulty when attempting something.

It’s a waste of

Implies that the effort invested is pointless or not productive.

My time yeah

Highlighting the speaker's perception of wasted time in the endeavor.

Whenever we fight

Refers to conflicts or arguments within a relationship.

Do you feel it

Asking if the partner senses the impact of the disputes.

You bring me to my knees

Describing the emotional effect of the partner's actions, bringing the speaker to a vulnerable state.

And tears

Mentioning the presence of tears, indicating emotional distress.


By the way

Introducing a new topic or observation.

Saw you last night

Reporting an encounter with the partner the previous night.

With a boy who looked like me

Noting the partner's association with someone resembling the speaker.

Don’t you think

Raising a question about the peculiarity of the situation.

It’s strange

Expressing a sense of oddity or unusualness.

To go from the other side

Reflecting on a transition from one experience or perspective to another.

To this

Pointing to the current state or condition.


When we try

Returning to the theme of attempting something in the relationship.

Can we feel it’s ok

Pondering if there is a positive sensation or acceptance when trying.

And it takes

Emphasizing effort and suggesting a similarity to the feeling of love.

And it feels just like love

Describing the experience, possibly indicating a genuine emotional connection.

Can we try

Asking if the attempt is worthwhile or if positive feelings persist.

Can we feel it in the end

Inquiring about the enduring impact and validity of the emotions.

It’s a waste of you and I

Declaring that the effort is a waste for both individuals involved.

It’s a waste of you and I

Reiterating the idea that the endeavor is futile for both parties.


Don’t you think

Revisiting the sense of peculiarity in the transition between perspectives.

It’s strange

Repeating the feeling of oddity in the shift from one side to another.

To go from the other side

Recalling the change in perspective from a previous state to the present one.

To this

Highlighting the current state or condition once again.


When we try

Reiterating the theme of attempting something in the relationship.

Can we feel it’s ok

Questioning if there is a sense of acceptance or okay-ness when trying.

And it takes

Emphasizing effort and likening it to the feeling of love.

And it feels just like love

Describing the experience, possibly indicating a genuine emotional connection.

Can we try

Asking if the attempt is worthwhile or if positive feelings persist.

Can we feel it in the end

Inquiring about the enduring impact and validity of the emotions.

It’s a waste of you and I

Declaring that the effort is a waste for both individuals involved.

It’s a waste of you and I

Reiterating the idea that the endeavor is futile for both parties.
