Wasting Light

Foo Fighters Wasting Light Lyrics
1.Bridge Burning

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

These are my famous last words!
My number's up, bridges burn, burned

Oh won't you let me twist your faith
It's getting kinda late but I don't wanna wait no more
Oh may I have this dance of days
Locked in your embrace
Passed your test of faith

Another time another place
Another line upon your face
Another in your way

Down crooked stairs a sideway princess
Comes the king of second chances
Now throw him in the flame

Whatever keeps you warm at night
(Whatever keeps you warm at night)
Whatever keeps you warm inside

Your bridges are burning now
They're all coming down
It's all coming round
You're burning them down
It's all coming round
They're all coming down
Your bridges are burning now

Oh let me put you in your place
I love it when you say
Giving everything away

Tell now what's in it for me
Tell me now what's in it for me
No one's getting this for free
So tell me now what's in it for me

Whatever keeps you warm at night
(Whatever keeps you warm at night)
Whatever keeps you warm inside

Your bridges are burning now
They're all coming down
It's all coming round
You're burning them down
It's all coming round
They're all coming down
Your bridges are burning now

Gathering the ashes
Everything blown away
Gathering the ashes
Scatter as they blow away
Gathering the ashes
Everything blown away
Gathering the ashes
Scatter as they blow away

Your bridges are burning now
They're all coming down
It's all coming round
You're burning them down
It's all coming round
They're all coming down

(Your bridges are burning now)
Gathering the ashes
Everything blown away(They're all coming down)
Gathering the ashes(It's all coming round)
Scatter as they blow away(You're burning them now)
Gathering the ashes
Everything blown away (It's all coming round)
Gathering the ashes(They're all coming down)
Scatter as they blow away(Your bridges are burning now)


2.Rope

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

This indecision got me climbing up the walls
Been cheating gravity and waiting on the falls
How did this come over me, thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown

On a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you
On a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you, go, I, go, loose

These premonitions got me crying up a storm
Leave your condition, this position does no harm

On a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you
On a kiss, thought I'd save my breath for you

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you, go, I, go, loose

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some hope I'm coming through, I'm counting on you
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
When you, go, I, go

Loose!


3.Dear Rosemary

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

You got away got away got away from me
Now get away get away get away from me
I couldn't grow just living in the shadow
Where do you go when no one's following you
You ran away ran away it was right on queue

Shall I go on and on and on and on and on and on again

Truth aint gonna change the way you lie
Youth aint gonna change the way you die

Dear Rosemary, dear rosemary

You got away got away got away with things
For starts your heart gets shattered
Pick up the pieces coming down around you
You ran away ran away it was right on queue

Rosemary you're part of me you know(You are, you are, you are)
Rosemary you're part of me you know(You are, you are, you are)

Youth aint gonna change the way you die

This was no ordinary lie(this was no ordinary lie)
This was no ordinary lie(this was no ordinary lie)
Here from now on
But once I'm gone, I'm gone

Truth aint gonna change the way you lie
Youth aint gonna change the way you die

Dear Rosemary(dear Rosemary)

Dear Rosemary

Now get away get away get away from me


4.White Limo

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

I'll take it out of the wishing well
I'm thinkin' having a plan
Go on with your bad self
What do you see in yourself?

You think you're losin', it's time to stop accusin'
You're never gonna take a hit on the head
Now, if you don't care
Take a ride somewhere

Hey! It has something you wanna try and buy yourself
Hey! It has something, it goes round and round again
GO! GO! You said that I've been away so long
GO! GO! And the ride was shared?

GOOOOOOOOOOO LIIIIIMMMOOOH
GOOOOOOOOOOO LIIIIIMMMOOOH

I guess you're stuck in the Habitrail
You've grown to lovin' this shit
Way out on a back shelf
You'll never know what you did

Look what you're doin', now mama says it's ruined
You got a mollusk in the palm of you hand
So it's a bad smell
Your ass won't win?

Hey! It has something you wanna try and buy yourself
Hey! It has something, it goes round and round and round again
GO! GO! You never have been away so long
GO! GO! And the ride was shared ?
GO! GO! Whatever happened to DayGlo clothes?
GO! GO! And the ride was shared ?

GOOOOOOOOOOO LIIIIIMMMOOOH
GOOOOOOOOOOO LIIIIIMMMOOOH

Yeah
All right!

WWWWWWWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!


5.Arlandria

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

Ain't that the way it always starts.
A simple round of conversation.
Became a shameful equation.
I flipped station to station.

Hey. Don't go and turn the other way.
Don't say there's nothin more to say.
Come on, hear me out.
Hush, hush, settle down.
Button up, don't make a sound.
Shame, shame, go away.
Come again some other day.

You used to say I couldn't save you enough,
so I've been saving it up, I started saving it up.
And when you said I couldn't give you enough,
I started giving you up, I started giving you up.

You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria.
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?
Oh, God you gotta make it stop.

Chase all of those memories away,
save them all for another day.
Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you.

Wait! I wanna see if I can say.
I wanna see if you can say.
I wan to keep all that i can take,
I feel much better now.
Use me up, spit me out,
let me be your hand-me-down.
Fame, fame, go away, come again so other day.

You used to say I couldn't save you enough,
So I've been saving it up, I started saving it up.
And when you said I couldn't give you enough,
I started giving you up, I started giving you up.

You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria.
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?
Oh, God you gotta make it stop.

My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your heart.
My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your heart.

Shame, shame go away,
come again some other day.
Memories keep haunting me.
Help me chase them all away.
Hush, now settle down,
button up, don't make a sound.
Close your eyes, turn around.
Help me burn this to the ground.
Come now, take the blame, that's okay, I'll play the game.
Use me up, spit me out,
let me be your hand-me-down.
Fame, fame, go away, come again so other day.
I don't care, it's all the same, watch you all go up in flames.

You used to say I couldn't save you enough,
so I've been saving it up, I started saving it up.
And when you said I couldn't give you enough,
I started giving you up, I started giving you up.

You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria.
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?
Oh, God you gotta make it stop.

My sweat Virginia, oh, God you gotta make it stop.
My sweat Virginia, oh, God you gotta make it stop.


6.These Days

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

One of these days, the ground will drop
Out from beneath your feet
One of these days, your heart will stop
And play it's final beat

One of these days, the clocks will stop
And time won't mean a thing
One of these days, their bombs will drop
And silence everything

But it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
I said it's alright

Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet
One of these days
I bet your heart will be broken
I bet your pride will be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days
One of these days

One of these days, your eyes will close
And pain will disappear
One of these days, you will forget
To hope, and learn to fear

But it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
I said it's alright

Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet
One of these days
I bet your heart will be broken
I bet your pride will be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days
One of these days

But it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
I said it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
Don't say it's alright
Don't say it's alright
Don't say it's alright

One of these days, your heart will stop
And play it's final beat

But it's alright

Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet
One of these days
I bet your heart will be broken
I bet your pride will be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days
One of these days


7.Back & Forth

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

Once upon a time I was somebody else
In another life, I saw myself
Way back then, back when I was you

Somewhere down the line I started to slip
Years gone by, biting my lip
All the while, all this time I knew

Now your on your own, one for the pages
Over the hill and through the ages
Does my heaven burn like hell on you?

Out beneath the cracks and coming in waves
Rolling like an earthquake under the pavement
Heavy now, tell me Mr.Truth

You got a lot of nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you

I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do now and now and then?
I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Down and out

Holding my breath I waited and waited
How'd the simple life get so complicated?
Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you

Deer in the headlights, spoke in the wheel
You want pretend I need for real
I'm taking it back, all my IOU's

You got a lot of nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you

You got a lot of nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you


8.A Matter Of Time

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

Let's change the subject to someone else
You know lately I've been subject to change
Normally I reel in the strange
Ain't over, I'm Older
You're one to talk, heart is a clock,
just like bomb and keeps on ticking away
Counting down the detonate, you will need, an army

It doesn't matter much to me,
If it doesn't matter much to you
ohhh
it doesn't matter much to me
if it doesn't matter much to you
it's just a matter of time, before, before,
it's just a matter of time, before, before,
and though I hate to rewind, before, before,
it's just a matter of time

My past is getting us no were fast
I was never one for taking things slow
No where seems like somewhere to go
Come over, and over
Doing my time for line after line
When will i learn to sing these crimes to myself
Prisoners to share a cell with,
I'm holding, still holding, holding you in.

It doesn't matter much to me,
If it doesn't matter much to you
ohhh
it doesn't matter much to me
if it doesn't matter much to you
it's just a matter of time, before, before,
it's just a matter of time, before, before,
and though I hate to rewind, before, before,
it's just a matter of time

it's just a matter of time, before, before,
it's just a matter of time, before, before,
and though I hate to rewind, before, before,
it's just a matter of time

What does it matter now, What does it matter now
What does it matter now, What does it matter now
It's just a matter of time, time


9.Miss The Misery

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

If I had my way
If I had to lose
Wouldn't take back one thing
Never had much to choose

Then it dawned on me
Coming down on you
Like a cold sky raining under a burning moon

Waiting all your life your wish is coming true
Bless your heart for beating me right out of you

Miss the misery
Need a reason for a change
Need a reason to explain
So turn it on again

Don't change your mind
Your wasting light
Getting this?
What a nice long leash, what a nice tight noose
Never worked for me but sure would look good on you
Been waiting all your life your wish is coming true
Bless your heart for beating me right out of you

Miss the misery need a reason for a change
Need a reason to refrain
So turn it on again

Don't change our mind
Your wasting light
Getting this?

Miss the misery give me a reason for a change
Miss the misery give me a reason to refrain

Miss your misery today
Miss your misery today
C'mon and turn it on again

Don't change your mind your wasting light
Don't make this right
Don't make this right
Getting this?


10.I Should Have Known

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

I should have known that it would end this way
I should have known there was no other way
Didn't hear your warning
Damn my heart gone there

I should have known
Look at the shape you're in
I should have known
But I don't write in
One thing is for certain
As I'm standing here
I should have known

Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt

I should have known
There was that side of you
I should have known
What was inside of you
Came without a warning
Caught me unaware
I should have known
I've been here before
I should have known
Don't want it anymore
One thing is for certain
I'm still standing here
I should have known

Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt

No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I should have known

Maybe you was right
Didn't want a fight
I should have known
Couldn't see the signs
Couldn't run a lie
I should have known

Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I should have known.


11.Walk

Lyricist:Foo Fighters
Writer(s):Foo Fighters

A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

Do you remember the day
We built these paper mountains
And sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?

Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free, again

You keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a riot
The sacrifice
The knowing to survive
That first decline
Another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees
I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
