Description
A conversation with the past, where every word seems to echo in an empty room. The chorus repeats the same confession - ‘I wish I didn't waste your time’ - like a broken record that breaks your heart, but you still want to keep listening. The music conveys a sense of heat - not summer heat or passionate heat, but the heat that remains after a quarrel: dry air that makes it hard to breathe.
This is not about anger, but about weary acceptance: the line has long been crossed, and it is pointless to look for someone to blame. All that remains is to admit your mistakes and dance to your own guilt until the ‘heat’ dissipates into the air.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I thought that everything was fine (so wrong)
When did I cross that line?
I really hoped you were the one for me
I will never be the same again
You gotta know the lines
To know just where to draw them
I think I'm in too deep
Maybe it's all of my faults
Creeping up behind
I wish I didn't waste your time
I can hear a bitter wind knocking on my door
Should I just let it in? I don't know anymore
Nothing feels quite the same, there's no one else to blame
I guess it's just all of my faults creeping up behind
You gotta know the lines
To know just where to draw them
I think I'm in too deep
Maybe it's all of my faults
Creeping up behind
I wish I didn't waste your time
Maybe it's all of my faults
Creeping up behind
I wish I didn't waste your time
Maybe it's all of my faults
I wish I didn't waste your time

I wish I didn't waste your time
