The Beautiful Things That We Waste - Matthew Barber

The moon lights the sky like an animal’s eye

Caught in the sights of the headlights

And the street lamps are clusters of planets it seems

Bright red and green, tis' the season to say what I mean

And I just saw you from my second floor post

And I feel almost like I’ve just seen a ghost

You floated on by and your hair caught my eye

You laughed but I cried, tis' the season to say that I tried

But I just keep coming back

To the same place, where I just see your face

And then each time my heart attacks

I tried to erase the beautiful things that we waste

Well I think that I’m way past the brink

But I don’t wanna know, don’t wanna know

And I drink and I sink when I think

But I don’t know how low, I don’t know how low

But I just keep coming back

To the same place, where I just see your face

And then each time my heart attacks

I tried to erase the beautiful things that we waste
