Oh I waited for the years
To wash away all of my fears
Standing by the water's edge
Waiting for the right moment
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Waiting for some twist of fate
Wasted
What we had
We traded in our innocence
Wasted
What we had
We left it all to providence
Wasted
What we had
We traded in our innocence
Wasted
What we had
And still we yearn for something else
Wasted
Wasted
Yes I waited on the fence
Safe in my own ignorance
Though every dog must have his day
I fear for me it's much too late
Wasted
What we had
We traded in our innocence
Wasted
What we had
We left it all to providence
Wasted
What we had
We traded in our innocence
Wasted
What we had
And still we yearn for something else
