Maroon 5
"Wasted Years"

Strong is the memory
I can picture her standing right in front of me
Orange blossoms crushed on concrete,
I walk around with barefeet
Cause I know you want me

Can't remember anything
Her sweat, it tastes like sugar cane
And I had already gotten there before I came
My tank is empty
And I know you're thirsty

But I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
A rag for someone else's tears
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry

And I'll see you when I get back
Maybe we can get ourselves back on the right track
You touch me there because you know how much I like that
I think that we both need to relax
Cause I know you want me

All the time and everywhere
A happy surface but the underbelly isn't there
The worst thing is that I don't even really care
The emptiness is too much to bear

But I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
A rag for someone else's tears
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry

C'mon C'mon
Get off the phone
Please come home
It's been so lonely since you've been gone
Engulf, surround me
up and down me
Be all around me
Baby I can't breathe no more

C'mon C'mon
Get off the phone
Please come home
It's been so lonely since you've been gone
Engulf, surround me
up and down me
Be all around me
Baby I can't breathe no more

But I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
A rag for someone else's tears
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry
Sick of all these wasted years
A rag for someone else's tears
I wring you out as I hang you out to
to dry... and try
And try to get... back home
you try... you try, yeah, yeah
oohhhhh, yeah
