I Don't Wanna Waste Your Time - Over the Rhine

I Don't Wanna Waste Your Time Lyrics

I dont wanna waste your time
With music you dont need
Why should I autograph the book
That you wont even readI got a different scar for every song
And blood left still to bleed
But I dont wanna waste your time
With music you dont needI dont wanna waste good wine
If you wont stick around
I love to laugh but Im more than just
Your alcoholic clownI wont pray this prayer with you
Unless we both kneel down
'Cause I dont wanna waste good wine
If you wont stick aroundSo, come on lighten up
Let me fill your cup
Im just trying to imagine a situation
Oh, where we might have a real conversation, ohBut I dont wanna waste the words
That you dont seem to need
When it comes to wanting whats real

Theres no such thing as greedI hope this night puts down deep roots
I hope we plant a seed
Cause I dont wanna waste your time
With music you dont need, oh
