Watching, Wasting, Waiting Lyrics

watching you taking your time
wasting mine just waiting on you
misery might keep me hanging around
if youï¿½re never gonna let me live this down

every train i take, stops the same place
right where you are

itï¿½s been a long time but i hear
you donï¿½t wander far
from lonesome hours at the bar
call to ask me why i never come around
when are you gonna let me live this down?

i was tired of lying alone for you
so I became a desert to your raining
finding myself in the sun
i became a desert to your raining
cos' i donï¿½t want to be the one

watching you taking your time
wasting mine just waiting on you
you always keep me hanging around
youï¿½re never gonna let me live this down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song, I love anything by Terminal. Boy meets girl, girl and boy fall in love, girl breaks up with boy. The boy misses her, and wants her back; he dedicates all of his time to trying to win her over. He thinks about her constantly, unable to get her off his mind, unable to do anything else; hes 'wasting his time'. But he eventually realizes this only leading to his downfall and picks himself up after a long amount of time. Finally, when he stops noticing the girl and gives up on her, she comes back only to find the boy has moved on. Girls are bitches.
