“Glorious Waste” Verse 1 Woke up late, sunlight on the floor Had a plan but I don’t anymore All the lines I tried to draw for me Never fit who I turned out to be I was chasing something I can’t name Trying hard just to play the game Then I stopped and I let it go Maybe I don’t need to know Pre-Chorus If it’s all just passing by Why am I holding tight? Chorus What a beautiful waste this life is Let’s not miss it trying to fix it Spend it laughing, chasing moments We don’t have to know what this is Paint it messy, make it honest Turn the wrong into something right If we break it, we can rebuild it Piece by piece in our own time We get to be nobody for a minute Take it off, let the whole world spin Kick our shoes off, feel the freedom And just ghost on Verse 2 Said some things I can’t take back Took some turns off the map But every wrong got me here somehow And I think I like it now If there’s no perfect way to be Then that’s kind of everything We can lose and still be found When we finally slow it down Pre-Chorus If it’s all just passing by Why not live it while it’s mine? Chorus What a beautiful waste this life is Let’s not miss it trying to fix it Spend it laughing, chasing moments We don’t have to know what this is Paint it messy, make it honest Turn the wrong into something right If we break it, we can rebuild it Piece by piece in our own time We get to be nobody for a minute Take it off, let the whole world spin Kick our shoes off, feel the freedom And just ghost on Bridge Crying in the car, singing to the radio Wondering if any of it matters But I feel it in my chest, so I let it go And maybe that’s the answer Final Chorus (lifted / anthemic) What a beautiful waste this life is I don’t need to try to fix it I’ll just live it, I’ll just feel it Every second that I’m in it Paint it messy, make it honest Even if it falls apart I can always put it back together In a way that feels like art We get to be nobody for a minute Take it off, let the whole world spin Kick our shoes off, feel the freedom And just ghost on
