lyrics

Don’t waste it

What can we hold it together with
There ain’t no string, sailor tape or glue
It would never work if I change you to my side
But tell me what else I’m supposed to do
I wrote you a song about pirates
I move to the other side of the sea
I gave you all my love when the times they were hard
And I drank coffee instead of tea
I drank coffee instead of tea

You cannot hold it
You cannot taste it
But it’s the best thing I know
And I don’t want to waste it
You cannot hold it
You cannot taste it
But it’s the best thing I know
And I don’t want to waste it

What can I do to stop you wondering of
There’s no cake that I baked today
I ain’t got no time to take your hand in mine
And you ain’t got much time for me
The years they have gone so slowly
The years they have past so fast
If we stop now, oh I tell you how
They will sink to the bottom of the sea
Sink to the bottom of the sea

You cannot hold it
You cannot taste it
But it’s the best thing I know
And I don’t want to waste it
You cannot hold it
You cannot taste it
But it’s the best thing I know
And I don’t want to waste it

What can we hold it together with
There ain’t no string, sailor tape or glue
It would never work if I change you to my side
But tell me what else I’m supposed to do
It was cold when you first told me you loved me
I felt warmer when you held my hand
I took my chances on your country’s roads
But now it’s time to leave
Yeah now it’s time to go

You cannot hold it
You cannot taste it
But it’s the best thing I know
And I don’t want to waste it
You cannot hold it
You cannot taste it
But it’s the best thing I know
And I don’t want to waste it
