Waste Lyrics
[Intro: Myles Smith]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1: Myles Smith]
Worlds collide
People come and people go
Time passes by
Feels like yesterday when we locked
[Pre-Chorus: Myles Smith]
Eyes
Look up at the stars, wondering where you are
Oh, I
I just wanna say
[Chorus: Myles Smith]
I know that we’ve gone our separate ways
But all of our love won’t go to waste
I’m gonna hold on to all of our days
So none of these memories slip away
Wherever you are, wherever I go
I hope someday that we cross roads
I know that we’ve gone our separate ways
But all of our love won’t go to waste
It won’t go to waste
[Post-Chorus: Myles Smith]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2: James Bay]
Nothing ends
Broken hearts, they fall apart
To start again
It might not be the same, but it’s
[Pre-Chorus: James Bay]
Alright
It ain’t the last page, but the story has changed
Oh, I
I just wanna say
[Chorus: Myles Smith & James Bay]
I know that we’ve gone our separate ways
But all of our love won’t go to waste
I’m gonna hold on to all of our days
So none of these memories slip away
Wherever you are, wherever I go
I hope someday that we cross roads
I know that we’ve gone our separate ways
But all of our love won’t go to waste
It won’t go to waste
[Post-Chorus: Myles Smith]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge: Myles Smith & James Bay, James Bay]
Still in my head, still in my mind
It will take time, it won’t go to waste
Through the dark times, through the headlines
Through the long nights, it won’t go to waste
Are you out there in a cold sweat?
If I’m honest, I still miss your face
Still in my head (Still in my head), still in my mind (Still in my mind)
It will take time (It’ll take time), it won’t go to waste
[Outro: Myles Smith & James Bay]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, it will take time)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (It won’t go to waste)
Waste Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Myles Smith]
The intro sets a meditative tone with soft vocalizations that immediately evoke a sense of melancholy and nostalgia. Myles Smith uses this wordless section to ease listeners into the emotional landscape of the song, preparing them for a contemplative journey through past love.
[Verse 1: Myles Smith]
Myles begins by reflecting on the fleeting nature of time and human connection. The juxtaposition of “worlds collide” and “people come and go” suggests the randomness yet intensity of relationships. The memory of locking eyes introduces a moment of deep emotional imprinting, one that remains vivid despite the passage of time, illustrating how impactful even brief moments of love can be.
[Pre-Chorus: Myles Smith]
Here, Myles turns his thoughts outward, gazing at the stars as a symbolic gesture of searching for connection across distance. The simple act of wondering “where you are” conveys longing, while his need to express something unsaid reflects the unfinished emotional business that often accompanies breakups.
[Chorus: Myles Smith]
The chorus anchors the song’s core message: love doesn’t disappear just because people part ways. Myles embraces the idea that memories can still hold meaning and value. His vow to “hold on to all of our days” signals a commitment to cherish the past rather than erase it, while the hope of crossing paths again adds a layer of gentle optimism.
[Post-Chorus: Myles Smith]
The wordless vocals return to echo the emotional intensity of the chorus, allowing listeners to absorb the weight of what’s just been expressed. These vocalizations deepen the mood and emphasize the feelings of longing and remembrance without needing additional words.
[Verse 2: James Bay]
James Bay takes over to explore how endings can also be beginnings. He acknowledges the pain of heartbreak but offers the reassurance that healing and transformation are possible. His lyrics accept that love may not return in the same form, but its presence can still be meaningful. This shift in perspective enriches the narrative by showing both grief and resilience.
[Pre-Chorus: James Bay]
James echoes Myles’ earlier sentiment with his own voice, reinforcing the emotional continuity between the two artists. The acknowledgment that “the story has changed” but continues reflects a mature understanding of relationships—that endings are often just narrative pivots, not full stops.
[Chorus: Myles Smith & James Bay]
Together, Myles and James unite in a harmonized expression of their shared experience. The blending of voices underscores the universality of their message: that love, though altered by time and distance, remains valuable and transformative. Their joint delivery enhances the song’s emotional resonance, presenting it as a mutual, deeply felt truth.
[Post-Chorus: Myles Smith]
This extended post-chorus deepens the reflective atmosphere. The repetition of the vocal motif becomes a meditative refrain, reinforcing the emotional weight of their memories and the message that love’s impact endures even in silence.
[Bridge: Myles Smith & James Bay, James Bay]
The bridge is the emotional climax, where personal vulnerability surfaces fully. Myles and James admit to still carrying the other in memory, expressing how healing takes time. The mention of headlines and long nights points to external and internal challenges that test emotional endurance. Their honesty about missing each other, even amid personal growth, reaffirms that deep connections don’t vanish—they evolve.
[Outro: Myles Smith & James Bay]
The outro gently closes the song, with both artists repeating the vocal motif while subtly reaffirming the song’s final truth: that while moving on may take time, none of the love they shared will go to waste. It leaves listeners with a lingering sense of hope and emotional closure.
