Lyrics by Brad Bergman
Arranged and Performed by Claude Deschult

LYRICS:
We grew up down by the creek,
Boots in the mud, jeans torn at the seams.
Always knew there was somethin' there,
Every glance, every touch, a secret we shared.
Late-night fires and midnight rides,
Kept my heart hidden, couldn’t show what’s inside.

But I’d steal a look, wonder if you’d see,
The boy beside you was all you’d ever need.

Oh, wasted time, how it slipped away,
All the words I was too scared to say.
Could’ve held your hand, could’ve made you mine,
Instead we just let it ride, buyin’ wasted time.

Now we’re older, the dust has cleared,
Years gone by, but you’re still right here.
Laughin’ ‘bout the days we were young and wild,
Two boys dreamin’ under that big ol’ sky.
Your smile still stops me in my tracks,
Thinkin’ ‘bout the past, wish I could take it back.

I see it now, was it always this clear?
Two fools too scared to pull each other near.

Oh, wasted time, how it slipped away,
All the nights I was too scared to stay.
Could’ve said the words, could’ve crossed the line,
But we just let it ride, it was wasted time.

Underneath these stars tonight,
I’m done runnin’, I’m done with the fight.
If you feel it too, let me see it in your eyes,
Let’s take a chance and leave the past behind.

No more wasted time, it’s a brand-new day,
All the words I was too scared to say.
Gonna hold your hand, gonna make you mine,
No more letting love slide, no more wasted time.

We grew up down by the creek,
Now it’s your lips that I’m leanin’ to meet.
Guess the best things take their sweet ol’ time,
No more looking back, I’m gonna make you mine.

Wasted Time

Hope Springs Eternal

Feet Untamed

I Want to be Your Moon

Fantastic

This song tells the beginning of the story.

It’s about a young man stepping out into the world for the first time — full of freedom, hope, and blind faith. No weight yet. No scars. Just an open road and a heart wide open.

“Left home in the spring, packed my bags and hit the road...”
“Back when time moved slow and dreams came bold...”
It’s a reflection of who we were before life got heavy.
Before the responsibilities. Before the love and loss.
This is the first page in the book.
