Ten minutes late to my gate in Amsterdam
Lost my boarding pass on the way to get you back
Reasons and rationales all seem to fade away
The moment I step on yet another twelve-hour plane
Three tests, then finally I head out
Hyde Park and Chelsea, I’m walking around
But I’ve got a hundred doubts
Keep wishing you would materialize
Cancel your plans and change your mind
But it’s all futile
Oh, what a waste, what a waste
What a waste this trip has become
I’m alone again in this romantic ambiance
Such a mistake
Looks of pity bore into me
As I sit across the tablе from an empty seat
Oh, what a waste
Somеtimes I think space is wasted on me
How do I always end up alone in these gorgeously, scenic cities?
Oh, it’s tauntingly tragic that all this foreign magic
Lands upon a girl who can’t harness it correctly
Couples walking by look down at me from heights so high
I wonder, “is this what it would be like?”
If it wasn’t
Oh, what a waste, what a waste
What a waste this trip is
Cuz I am not your girl
I’m just some reckless kid
Such a mistake
Looks of pity bore into me
As I sit across the table from an empty seat
Oh, what a waste
What a waste
Dressing up to go nowhere
Dressing just to meet the absence of you there
And Pimlico and Battersea used to mean so much to me
And now they don’t
That bridge back from the Globe Theatre
You laughed when I told you all about my crush on my Russian teacher
And now, without direction, I just roam
There’s nothing left to do
Guess I’ll just head home
Oh, what a waste, what a waste
What a waste this trip has become
The expatriate is stuck numb in this ambiance
Such a mistake
Looks of pity bore into me
As I sit across the table from my absentee
Oh, what a waste
What a waste, what a waste this trip is
Broken heart remnant of this lovesick American
Such a mistake
Natives at the Ritz Afternoon tea
Think that is the loneliest girl that I ever did see
Oh, what a waste
What a waste
What a waste
What a waste, -aste, -aste
