Testo Wasted Light

That time when we were crossing the Atlantic
The moment that we reached the middle
You turned to me and said something romantic
I've won the race and you're the medal
And all the ocean liners we were passing
Had nothing on our sail and whistle
As the waves were rolling we were dancin'
Like we had enough, to lose a little
So sure we were contenders
So strong and willing to fight

But it's a long way down when you're far from the ground
And I've been falling most of my life
And though the sun shines on even after you're gone
I feel sorry for the wasted light
Wasted light

Spill off the port into a crowded main street
Looking for somewhere to settle
And soon enough we're lost inside the mystery
We'll be strangers before night has settled
With so much to say we said too little
Back then
We were pretenders
So young
And ready to fight, oh

But it's a long way down when you're far from the ground
I've been falling most of my life
Though the sun shines on even after you're gone
I feel sorry for the wasted light
Oh, I feel sorry for the wasted light

Oh

And it's a long way down when you're far from the ground
I've been falling most of my life
And thought clock ticks on even after you're gone
I'm just shaken' hands with wasted time
I'm still praying you'll come home one night

Oh it's a long way down
When you are far from the ground
And the sun shines on even after you're gone
I feel sorry for the wasted light
I'm still praying you'll come home one night

So here I am crossin' the Atlantic
Maybe see you at the middle
