A Kiss Is a Terrible Thing to Waste

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
