Wasted On Love
Intoxicating Memories: Wasted On Love's Embrace
Lyrics
Take me back to the times that we shared
Desire to revisit shared memories
Your sweet kiss and your blonde hair
Recalling the sensory details of a past love
They called me trouble but you called
Being labeled negatively by others, contrasted with partner's positive view
Me a saint
Feeling esteemed by the partner
I picked you up when you lost your wings
Supporting the partner during difficult times
And I know and I know
Confessing admiration and commitment to the partner
He left you brokenhearted
-I picked up the pieces
-Touched your skin baby that's
-When it started
-And I confess that you're the best
-You got the best of
-Fuck all the rest of them
-'Cause girl I need you next to me
Expressing need for the partner's presence
Last call, sober up
Reference to excessive drinking, suggesting a coping mechanism
Once again we drink too much
-We're so jaded, one more shot
-Let's get wasted we're wasted on love
Linking intoxication with love, perhaps implying a destructive pattern
Girl you made my heart stop
Describing a passionate encounter in a risky situation
In the parking lot
-You took it all off then they called the cops
-I'm thinking back to days we were cruising
Recollection of carefree and enjoyable moments
Drop top back, alone in the Cadillac
-You had me swerving with the
-Way you were moving
-Filled up my glass when I
-Was feeling the pain
-And I know and I know
Reiteration of commitment and belief in the partner's uniqueness
He left you brokenhearted
-I picked up the pieces
-Touched your skin baby that's
-When it started
-And I confess that you're the best
-You got the best of
-Fuck all the rest of them
-'Cause girl I need you next to me
Reaffirming the need for the partner
Last call, sober up
Linking drinking with emotional intensity and potential consequences
Once again we drink too much
-We're so jaded, one more shot
-Let's get wasted we're wasted on love
-Girl you made my heart stop
-In the parking lot
-You took it all off then they called the cops
-We're wasted on love
Acknowledging being consumed by love and its effects
Girl you got me blacked out, wasted on love
-We're wasted on love
-Girl you make the bottles pop
-And my heart stop
-Damn you got me wasted on love
-Tell me what you're thinking
Questioning the partner's intentions and the nature of the relationship
When you're dancing in the club
-Are you searching for another
-Or am I the one you love?
-'Cause we've been getting pretty close
-And we've been drinking every night
-We're just young and waste so
-Let's just shoot the dice
-Last call, sober up
Repeating the cycle of excessive drinking and its repercussions
Once again we drink too much
-We're so jaded, one more shot
-Let's get wasted we're wasted on love
-Girl you made my heart stop
-In the parking lot
-You took it all off then they called the cops
-We're wasted on love
Reiterating the impact of love on emotions and behavior
Girl you got me blacked out, wasted on love
-We're wasted on love
-Girl you make the bottles pop
-And my heart stop
-Damn you got me wasted on love
Expressing the overwhelming influence of love on the individual
