Wasted - Jim James

If you had eyes like golden crowns and

Diamonds in your fingertips you’d waste it

If shining wisdom passed your lips and

Traveled to the ears of God you’d waste it

And so I hate that you’re overrated most

Revered and celebrated because you’ll waste it

Then again it’s good to get a call

Now and then just to say hello

Have I said I hate to see you go

I hate to see you go

But every time you close a door and nothing

Opens in its place you’ve wasted

And when you speak the words you know

To those who know the words themselves

You’re wasted

You’re such a classic waste of cool, so afraid to

Break the rules in all the wrong places

Then again it’s good to get a call

Now and then just to say hello

Have I said I hate to see you go

I hate to see you go
