[Verse 1] Wakeful aching early mornings Prise the desperation from your hands Leaning out of bedroom windows Books and hooks we steal from last night's bands Take a girl's name for the chorus Repetition and repetition Write it on a piece of paper Add some words that I don't understand [Chorus] Just drinking formula Everything is wasted We're drinking formula Everything is wasted [Verse 2] Seven years: Seven years of implication Debonair Critically self-effacing
Unaware: Unaware of hours we've wasted Far from here Soluble from weeks spent [Chorus 2] Drinking formula Everything is wasted We're drinking formula Everything is wasted [Verse 3] Cold and clear Sentiment is spent It's closure I'm a tear Rolling down An endless cheek A metaphor I'll disregard With total mercy [Verse 2] [Outro] Drinking formula Everything is wasted You're drinking formula Everything is wasted
