I call your name
For the seventh time
And when the night sets in
I"ll retrace my crime
I put out your flame
And still the smoke keeps coming back for more
I recall the sound
Of your dreams against the floor
Erasure, rewind
Your life
Not here, no more
Wasting
I"ve been wasting
All this time I tried so hard
To figure out my world
Wasting
I"ve been merely wasting
Hours that remain unsung
By my voice
I call your name
For the umpteenth time
And when the light sets in
I"ll retain my crime
Erasure, rewind
My life
Not here, no more
For the seventh time
And when the night sets in
I"ll retrace my crime
I put out your flame
And still the smoke keeps coming back for more
I recall the sound
Of your dreams against the floor
Erasure, rewind
Your life
Not here, no more
Wasting
I"ve been wasting
All this time I tried so hard
To figure out my world
Wasting
I"ve been merely wasting
Hours that remain unsung
By my voice
I call your name
For the umpteenth time
And when the light sets in
I"ll retain my crime
Erasure, rewind
My life
Not here, no more
