something is coming over me
i feel waves of joy and sorrow, and finally i can see
that i’ve got to pull away from you just to find out what i need
cuz chasin’ you is like wastin’ away
that’s all i need to say, chasin’ you is like wastin’ away

and someone came to my side,
she said “babe, i know you’re humble, but you still got to hold on to your pride
the one that you’re pining for just keeps kickin’ you aside
and chasin’ it’s like wastin’ away,
that’s all i need to say, chasin’ it’s like wastin’ away”

somewhere out by north plains
i pushed my limits to let go, i did not worry about the pain
and i’m finally getting over you, i’ll get you out of my brain
cuz chasin’ you is like wastin’ away
that’s all i need to say, chasin’ you is like wastin’ away
chasin’ you is like wastin’ away
chasin’ you is like wastin’ away
