The Beautiful Things That We Waste Lyrics

The moon lights the sky like an animal's eye
Caught in the sights of the headlights
And the streetlamps are clusters of planets it seems
Bright red and green 'tis the season to say what I mean
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

And I just keep coming back
To the same place oh I just see your face and then
Each time my heart attacks
I try to erase the beautiful things that we waste
And I think that I'm way past the brink
But I don't wanna know, I 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

I just keep coming back
To the same place oh I just see your face and then
Each time my heart attacks
I try to erase the beautiful things that we waste
