Wasting Away Lyrics
And so the sky
becomes a dream
I never dreamt because
I'm just too busy
waiting for nothing
and wasting away
Don't tell me it's too hard
You were never there from the start
I'm not about to give this up
Giving up was never enough
No
And so the sky
becomes a dream
I never dreamt because
I'm just too busy
waiting for nothing
and wasting away
And so the sky
it watched my dreams
fall to pieces right in front of me
'cause
I'm just too busy
waiting for nothing
and wasting away
And I never wished for anything more
Than to find what I've been looking for
And I swore to myself
I wouldn't lie to myself
How could I let this happen?
So I pull myself aside,
take the time and
tell myself it's all right
'Cause you weren't there to dry my eyes
And so the sky
becomes a dream
I never dreamt because
I'm just too busy
waiting for nothing
and wasting away
And so the sky
it watched my dreams
fall to pieces right in front of me
'cause
I'm just too busy
waiting for nothing
and wasting away
I'm wasting, wasting away (x2)
And so the sky
becomes a dream
I never dreamt because
I'm just too busy
waiting for nothing
and wasting away (x2)
And so the sky
it watched my dreams
fall to pieces right in front of me
'cause
I'm just too busy
waiting for nothing
and wasting away
wasting, wasting away
away.
becomes a dream

Wasting Away is about waiting for your dreams to come true, but all you’re doing is waiting. You’re not getting out there and trying to accomplish them. You’re basically hoping for the things you want to come to you. You can’t be angry if they never happen if you don’t do anything. If you want your dreams to come true, then you have to get up and make them happen.
