Acoustic vocal demo- work tape

Just put this work tape together last week for a song I did lyrics for in early October. It's a reflective style song about missing someone you had a relationship with, and knowing that every day apart is a "wasted" day. A little twist on the word "wasted" / dual meaning - wasting time being wasted.

I did the lyrics and Nash Stanley did the music and vocals.

Wasted
Published by timothymichaelmusic

V1.
It’s 3 am, I’m up again
You’ll always be the reason
Whistling wind, storms moving in
it’s the changing of the seasons
Got time to think. I pour a drink
Strong, a double tall
Like the trees and changing leaves
I’ll just let go and fall.

Chorus
Time’s a terrible thing to waste
But I do it pretty well.
Your scent still lingers in the air
I’m trapped under your spell.
A hint of wine, your lips on mind
Are still the best I’ve tasted
I’m too far gone to carry on.
My time is best spent wasted

V2.
Feels like the liquor makes it pass quicker
But it keeps me from moving on.
There’s no silence in the night
But there’s comfort in the dawn.
The sunshine breaking through the clouds
Starts to melt away the gray
But I know the truth, me without you
Is just another wasted day.

Chorus
Time’s a terrible thing to waste
But I do it pretty well.
Your scent still lingers in the air
I’m trapped under your spell.
A hint of wine, your lips on mind
Are still the best I’ve tasted
I’m too far gone to carry on.
My time is best spent wasted

Outtro:
A hint of wine, your lips on mind
Are still the best I’ve tasted
I’m too far gone to carry on.
My time is best spent wasted

My time is best spent wasted

WASTED
