Wasting Away Lyrics

The end of summertime it still
Reminds me of broken ties
Couldn't catch me if you tried
Believe me that i'm never coming back
It's the end of summertime for me

For me
Time keeps wasting away

I've been here waiting for way too long
Time is wasting away here
And I can't go home
I can't go home

No brand new winter days or rain
To help me to clear this page
This life is so messed up
You miss the things you hated all along
No brand new winter days for me

For me
Time keeps wasting away

I've been here waiting for way too long

Time is wasting away here
And I can't go home

Every time you call
Everything let go
I can't go home

I've been here waiting for way too long
And time keeps wasting away

I've been here waiting for way too long
Time is wasting away here
And I can't go home

Every time you call
I can't go home
Time is wasting away
Every time you call
Everything let go
I can't go home
I can't go home
I can't go home

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.
