If she could lose the Polariods from that weekend
If she'd quit trying to make every boy her boyfriend
Man I bet she could be president
But it's wasted, and just like me you erased it
Oh no it's wasted
[Chorus:]
You had the power to save my soul
I had the power to make you whole
(its wasted)
We had the power and we had control but we blew it
The shit you pulled goes round my head
I still see your face in every face in my bed
Tell me was it something I said
At the lake you lost my pretty toe ring
But in the grand scheme it doesn't really mean a thing
You just spread your wings and you forget about it
But it's wasted, like so many things you erased it
Oh no it's wasted
[Chorus:]
You had the power to purify my soul
I had the power to make you whole
(it's wasted)
We had the power and we had control but we blew it
You had the power to save my soul
I had the power to make you whole
(it's wasted)
We had the power and we had control but we blew it
You always call me when I'm at home
I try my best to duck the phone
But I'm drawn to you like a dog to a bone
and it's wasted
