there s a gentle artifice to loving that to it all we gently bring you know i learned how to kiss you watching old movies starring james dean and the candles we light for atmosphere are mostly made in tokyo or taiwan you know i think i love you most when you re off somewhere gone these things take patience and good taste and a taste for wasting time i love you wasting mine you fill the empty hours just fine you know you ask for the moon they bring you these dying stars a thousand points of blight a million unmade beds like fading smiles at least they brighten up the night for a little while a story of too much too soon and not enough later already begun to hate her i ve seen it all before you know we take what we want and the rest we need it leaves us clamoring for more and more and more patience and good taste and a taste for wasting time i love you wasting mine you fill the empty hours just fine just wait till now becomes then you ll see how happy we were you ll concur you ll agree you ll see listen to me in the candlelight tonight s atmosphere you look kinda like a movie star it s true and i gotta pinch myself to make sure you re still here you re my favorite thing my favorite thing to do patience and good taste and a taste for wasting time i love you wasting mine you fill the empty hours just fine
