Wasting Time Lyrics

Yea
And I'm just a waste of her energy
And she's just a waste of my time, mmhmm
So why don't we get together?
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste
And we could waste it all tonight, yea
And we could waste
And we could waste it all

And I don't pretend to know what you know, no no
Now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
If we already knew everything that everybody knows
We would have nothing to learn tonight
And we would have nothing to show tonight

Oh, but everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Nobody knows anything about themselves
'Cause they're all worried about everybody else
Yea, mmhmm, aw

Love's just a waste of our energy, yea
And this life's just a waste of our time
So why don't we get together?
We could waste everything tonight
We could waste
We could waste it all, yea

But everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else, no no
Nobody knows anything about themselves
'Cause they're all worried about everybody else, yea
Aw, and we could waste...

SEX! Damn people, it's all about the emotionless, wild SEX! Can I get a what-what?

I think JJ and this girl have outsiders (probably friends) trying to tell them that their relationship won't work and they are wasting their time. He's saying that these people need to worry about themselves and let JJ and his girl decide. He is sarcastically saying that they are "wasting" their time if they get together, but in reality, they love being together...to get to know each other. How would they find out if they love each other if they don't try?

Oh, but everybody thinks That everybody knows About everybody else Nobody knows anything about themselves 'Cause they're all worried about everybody else

couldn't have said it better than swonlia.. though i like this song because it tells you about being in a society where everyone thinks they know what's best for you, but in reality, you want the best for yourself, too.

This song has an awesome beat to it, and the guitar rifts are very soothing. Everyone has made correct comments on this song so far. Bad-ass song!
