Lyrics
If you listen to the night you can hear the darkness call
I can barely stand to wait, I can barely stand at all
Come on closer to me now, like we're sharing the same skin
We gotta get out of this jail, we gotta let the future in
So many things in your life that you're bound to regret
Why didn't I do that, why didn't I do this?
So many chances you've lost that you never forget
Why didn't I make it, why didn't I take it right there?
The loneliest words you'll ever know
If only, if only it was so
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
It could have been me, it could have been me
The loneliest words you'll ever know
If only, if only it was so
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
It could have been me, it could have been me
You'll have to pay for it later
If you don't get it when it's going for free
Believe me, believe me
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It's something that's always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
And one of these nights you're gonna show me that you already know
And there's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to waste
You shouldn't tremble when we touch, there's no reason for these fears
It's a promise that was made, we've been promised this for years
I wanna show you it all, what to do, and where, and how
'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now
We'll never be as young as we are right now
The loneliest words you'll ever know
If only, if only it was so
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
It could have been me, it could have been me
You'll have to pay for it later
If you don't get it when it's going for free
Believe me
Believe me, believe me
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It's something that's always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
And one of these nights I'm gonna show you that you already know
And there's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Tire tracks and broken hearts
It's all we're leaving behind
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're going to find
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
It's all we're leaving behind
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're going to find
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
It's all we're leaving behind (let's get away from the past)
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're going to find (so many ways to go back)
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
It's all we're leaving behind
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're going to find
Writer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jim Steinman
