Wasted by Carrie Underwood Makes Me Feel Elated
I’ve been hearing this song for a while now but I wasn’t able to understand it completely because I was elated by its country-beat approach and of course her captivating voice. The chorus is the main thing that struck me so hard it felt so real.
“I don’t wanna’ spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I’ve let all these years go by
Wasted”
I can totally relate to this considering the things I’ve given up, left aside and taken for granted. I gave so much in the past I wasn’t able to save much for the present. But I’m already awakened, do the best and make the most out of the day. It was one hell of a ride, but I learned a lot it was just- wasted.
Anyway here is the lyrics of the song by Carrie Underwood and I attached the video at my sidebar [quite big but I like the way it is placed there, art of sorts].
Standing at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood
It felt like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just can’t get it back
Let’s face it
For once this second
She almost turned around
But that would be like pouring rain
Back into a cloud
So she took another step and said
I see the way out and I’m gonna’ take it
I don’t wanna’ spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I’ve let all these years go by
Wasted
Another glass of whisky and it still don’t kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He says it’s time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Face it.
Cause’ I don’t wanna’ spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I’ve let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don’t wanna’ keep on wishing, missing
But still every morning’ the color of the night
I ain’t spending no more time
Wasted
She kept drivin’ along
Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while
Hey, yeah,
Oh, I don’t wanna’ spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I’ve let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don’t wanna’ keep on wishing, missing
But still every morning’ the color of the night
I ain’t spending no more time
Wasted
Oh, I don’t wanna’ spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I’ve let all these years go by
Wasted
Yeah, yeah
Oh I don’t wanna’ keep on wishing, missing
But still every morning’ the color of the night
I ain’t spending no more time
Wasted
