Maroon 5 - Wasted Years Lyrics

Strong is the memory 
I can picture her standing right in front of me 
Orange blossoms crushed on concrete, 
I walk around with barefeet 
Cause I know you want me 

Can't remember anything 
Her sweat, it tastes like sugar cane 
And I had already gotten there before I came 
My tank is empty 
And I know you're thirsty 

But I have already tried to explain myself 
It's not that I love someone else 
But I can't bear to listen to you cry 
I'm sick of all these wasted years 
A rag for someone else's tears 
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry 

And I'll see you when I get back 
Maybe we can get ourselves back on the right track 
You touch me there because you know how much I like that 
I think that we both need to relax 
Cause I know you want me 

All the time and everywhere 
A happy surface but the underbelly isn't there 
The worst thing is that I don't even really care 
The emptiness is too much to bear 

But I have already tried to explain myself 
It's not that I love someone else 
But I can't bear to listen to you cry 
I'm sick of all these wasted years 
A rag for someone else's tears 
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry 

C'mon C'mon 
Get off the phone 
Please come home 
It's been so lonely since you've been gone 
Engulf, surround me 
up and down me 
Be all around me 
Baby I can't breathe no more 

C'mon C'mon 
Get off the phone 
Please come home 
It's been so lonely since you've been gone 
Engulf, surround me 
up and down me 
Be all around me 
Baby I can't breathe no more 

But I have already tried to explain myself 
It's not that I love someone else 
But I can't bear to listen to you cry 
I'm sick of all these wasted years 
A rag for someone else's tears 
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry 
Sick of all these wasted years 
A rag for someone else's tears 
I wring you out as I hang you out to 
to dry... and try 
And try to get... back home 
you try... you try, yeah, yeah 
oohhhhh, yeah
