This poignant piece by Bastille explores the complexities of a relationship that has been marred by past mistakes. The lyrics express a desperate desire to go back in time and correct these errors, but acknowledge the impossibility of such a feat. Instead, the protagonist suggests they 'fake it', implying an attempt to recreate their love as it once was, despite the scars from past transgressions. The repeated line "I wanna waste all of my time with you" underscores a deep longing for the partner and willingness to invest time in mending their bond. Overall, this song encapsulates the struggle and determination involved in trying to salvage a relationship that's on the brink of collapse.
