Wasting Time Lyrics

Yeah

And I'm just a waste of her energy
And she's just wasting my time, mm
So why don't we get together
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste, and we could waste it all tonight
Yeah, and we could waste, and we could waste it all

And I don't pretend to know what you know, nah, nah
Now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
If we already knew everything that everybody knows
We would have nothing to learn tonight
And we would have nothing to show tonight

Oh, but everybody thinks that everybody knows
About everybody else, nobody knows
Anything about themselves
'Cause they're all worried about everybody else, yeah
Yeah, mm
Oh

And love's just a waste of our energy, yeah
And this life's just a waste of our time
So why don't we get together
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste, and we could waste it all

Yeah, but everybody thinks that everybody knows
About everybody else, nah, nah, nobody knows
Anything about themselves
'Cause they're all worried about everybody else, yeah
Oh

And we could waste

What is the Meaning of Wasting Time?

In the grand cosmic joke of existence, Jack Johnson offers a refreshing perspective. He suggests that we're all just frittering away our energy and time on trivial matters, too caught up in what others think or know. But here's the twist - nobody really knows anything about themselves, let alone others! It's a merry-go-round of pretense and ignorance. So, in this whirlwind of wasted time and energy, Johnson proposes a radical idea: why not waste it together? At least then, we'd be squandering it on something enjoyable! A clever nudge to stop worrying about everyone else and just live for the moment. After all, aren't we all just 'Wasting Time'?
