It runs deep...

I don't wanna waste your time
With music you don't need
Why should I autograph the book
That you won't even read
I've got a different scar for every song
And blood left still to bleed
I don't wanna waste your time
With music you don't need


I don't wanna waste good wine
If you won't stick around
I love to laugh but I'm more than just
Your alcoholic clown
I won't pray this prayer with you
Unless we both kneel down
I don't wanna waste good wine
If you won't stick around


So come on, lighten up
Let me fill your cup
I'm just tryin' to imagine a situation
Where we might have a real conversation


I don't wanna waste the words
That you don't seem to need
When it comes to what is real
There is no such thing as greed
I hope this night puts down deep roots
I hope we plant a seed
I don't wanna waste your time
With music you don't need
. . .
