about

Marty wrote this track about personal baggage people bring into a relationship, and the wastefulness when people can't overcome their irreconcilable differences.

lyrics

Slipping away, slipping away & gone
Close enough never to interrupt
If she wanted to if she wanted to if she could

Get back to when nobody spared a thought
They could turn out like that
From the first night and on when there's nothing known to lose

Words are like needles
Now you're wasted away
Go out & find yourself someone
Wasted away
Go out

Don't like to talk
Don't like to talk
Got too much to say
She wanna know right now, she oughta know
Nobody loves, nobody wanna walk beside her all the way
Quite like he does long road back from this shit hey

Words are like needles
Now you're wasted away
Go out & find yourself someone
Wasted away
Go out & find yourself precious injury

Cannot erase it
There for the taking, nooo
You cannot erase it
There for the taking, sucking on useless information
You cannot erase it
There for the taking, nooo

Words are like

Words are like needles
Now you're wasted away
Go out & find yourself
Someone wasted away
Go out & find yourself precious injury
Wasted away
Yeah
Wasted away....
