Waste of Time
Nostalgic Echoes: Embracing Memories Lost in Time
Lyrics
She sat almost there in the corner of my eye
Observing a person seated in the periphery of my vision
A long time ago
Referring to a distant past
Weaving up stories about what I should know
Crafting narratives about things I should be aware of
And I liked it so
Expressing enjoyment of the fabricated stories
More of a meaning that couldn't be true
Describing a meaning that seems implausible
I didn't understand
Confessing a lack of understanding
It's always a good night for sleeping with you
Suggesting that any night is suitable for intimacy
And go back in time
Yearning to revisit the past
OK?
Seeking confirmation
Yeah Ok
Affirmative response
Imagine pictures from when we were young suddenly they appear
Envisioning images from youth suddenly resurfacing
I am amazed by the clarified sound
Expressing awe at the clear and distinct sound
So soft in my ear
Noticing a gentle sound in the ear
You say that I'm too concerned about
Being accused of excessive concern for the past
What is forever gone
Reflecting on what is permanently lost
I must admit that the chances I have
Acknowledging slim chances of reclaiming the past
TTo get it back is none
Deeming it a futile endeavor
It's a waste of time
Emphasizing that it's a waste of time
I know the plave up on the top
Acknowledging awareness of a place at the top
We get there in no time
Asserting a swift journey to reach that place
We go up to be there forever
Anticipating permanence in the mind, if not in reality
At lease inside of our minds
Desiring an enduring mental presence
You say that I'm too concerned about
Reiterating concern for what is permanently lost
What is forever gone
Reaffirming slim chances of reclaiming the past
I must admit that the chances I have
Acknowledging the futility of reclaiming it all
To get it all back is none
Reiterating that it's a waste of time
It's a waste of time
Stating the overall futility of the endeavor
We fon't have to build a garden of delight
Rejecting the need to create an idyllic place
There's no such garden in sight
Denying the existence of such a perfect place
Tonight I need you safely by my side
Expressing a need for companionship and security
Sleep tight tonight
Wishing for a peaceful night's sleep
