I got all the riches baby, one man can claim

'Cause when we fall, we know how to land

I wanna be your summer
I wanna be your wave

I'll take you to a new phrase

And I know there's no changing your mind, your mind
But we both found each other tonight, tonight
So if love is nothing more than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me, waste it on me
