The Beautiful Things That We Waste 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 [CHORUS] 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 [CHORUS] X2 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
