I just know that when Marv said that line, 'Pouring teardrops back into a cloud,' I just freaked out over that line. I wasn't thinking about that when we were writing it. I wasn't even getting past, once we demo-ed it and pitched it, who would get it. The melody and the groove felt good, but I just really loved the sentiment of the song. I was just really into the moment, into the characters, when we were writing. Hillary: "In my mind, they were always separate. I love that about songs, that different people can take different things from them." But people have taken it as both people related. In my mind, they didn't know each other at all, they were separate stories. People have been interpreting it both ways. And in the video, these two lives were definitely connected." All black and white, looked like they filmed it in Florida, on the beach. When I saw the video, it was so beautiful, really cool. As a writer, it's fun to see how people will interpret a song, but it's always interesting. Maybe these two characters are completely separate, and they're just tied together in a song. But in my mind, it was open as to whether they knew each other or didn't know each other. Marv: "There's a story where these two people could be connected - the woman in the first verse and the guy in the second verse. We ultimately decided to change gears, and come over to a new story for the second verse." We wrote the first verse, then tried to decide whether to write the whole song about her story, or go on to a new story. But that little moment for her was really important for us, because everything stemmed from that one opening verse. Hillary just started singing that first line. I was just trying to find something that felt good. I wasn't thinking of anything particular, lyrically. Troy: "Marv and I were just jamming around a little bit. Troy has these throw rugs on top of hardwood floors at his house, and I was actually seeing glass shatter, in my head." When I said it, I was literally seeing a tear hit the floor. I wish everyday was like that! I do remember having a clear visual of it though. Hillary: "Troy started playing grooves and the melody just came out. That's when I came up with that next line, 'Pouring raindrops back into a cloud,' and Troy just took it from there." And Hillary is one of those people that sings something sometimes, and makes you go, 'Sing that again!' She actually sang that whole first line: 'Standing at the back door, she tried to make it fast, one tear hit the hardwood.' and that definitely got us going. Troy started playing a few of those verse chords and started to do the groove of the song. ![]() I just thought it would make a striking title. But I also liked the idea of using wasted with time. like, obviously, drinking too much alcohol. Marv: "Sometimes a song starts with a melody, sometimes with an emotion, but this song really just started with throwing out that title, 'Wasted.' I liked the different meanings of wasted. The trio recalled to AOL's The Boot the day they sat in Troy's living room and co-wrote this song: The song was co-written by Marv Green, Hillary Lindsey and Troy Verges.
