[Verse 1]
It could easier
To sit back and just observe
But my mind races
What do I mean to her?
Was it something that I deserved?
Could I have changed it?

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been taking all my time
I read between too many lines
Been with you so many places
Faded jeans and worn-out laces
Taking all my time, thinking I could change your mind
Tried too hard to get things my way
Never got to tell you that
It's not for me to try to make you be
Somebody from my mental movie screen

[Chorus]
Guess I wasted
Time on all the waiting

[Verse 2]
I just want a heart-to-heart
We never got the chance to start
We could lie under the stars
Me and my guitar, playing "Chasing Cars"
And just forget the world
Hm-hm, hm-hm
If you were still my girl
[Pre-Chorus]
But I've been taking all my time
I read between too many lines
Been with you so many places
Faded jeans and worn-out laces
Taking all my time, thinking I could change your mind
(Change your mind)
Tried too hard to get things my way
Never got to tell you, but
It's not for me to try to make you be
Somebody from my mental movie screen

[Chorus]
Guess I wasted
Time on all the waiting
Guess I wasted (Guess I wasted)
Time on all the waiting
Guess I wasted
Time on all the waiting
(No point in changing)
Guess I wasted
Time on all the waiting
Guess I wasted
Time on all the waiting
