 If you listen to the night 
You can hear the darkness call
I can barely stand to wait
I can barely stand at all
C'mon closer to me now
 Its like we're sharing the same skin
We gotta get outta this jail
We gotta let the future in

So many things in your life 
That your bound to regret
Why didn't I do that? 
Why didn't I do this?
So many chances you lost 
That you'll 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 they'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 its going for free
Believe me! 
Believe me!

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Its something that's always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
And one of these nights 
Your gonna show me that you already know
There's a feast waiting for you 
And you've never even gotten a taste
Its 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
Its a promise that was made
We've been promised this for years
I wanna show you it all 
What to do 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!

So many cries in the night 
That you try to ignore
Why didn't I do this? 
Why didn't I do that?
So many unanswered prayers
 So many unopened doors
Why didn't I take it? 
Why didn't I make it come true?

The loneliest words you'll ever know:
"If only if only it was so"
The emptiest words that they'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 its 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
Its 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...
There's a feast waiting for you 
And you've never even gotten a taste
Its later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!

Tire tracks and broken hearts 
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're gonna find!

There's a feast waiting for you 
And you've never even gotten a taste
Its later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
