Believe me, believe me
It doesn't matter what we lose
That you never forget
So many things in your life
We gotta get out of this jail
That you try to ignore
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
If you listen to the night
There's a feast waiting for you
We've been promised this for years
'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now
There's a feast waiting for you
We gotta let the future in
That you already know
It's later than you think
Why didn't I take it?
That's all we're leaving behind
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Believe me, believe me
It could've been me, it could've been me
You shouldn't tremble when they touch
I want to show you it all
Why didn't I do that?
There's a feast waiting for you
Come on closer to me now
The loneliest words you'll ever know
I can barely stand at all
It could've been me, it could've been me
And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It doesn't matter what we lose
You're gonna show me
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
That's all we're leaving behind
It could've been me, it could've been me
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
There's no reason for these fears
It only matters what we're going to find
Never be as young as we are right now
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
It's later than you think
If only, if only it was so
I can barely stand the wait
You'll have to pay for it later
You'll have to pay for it later
And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Why didn't I do this?
That's all we're leaving behind
It's later than you think
That you're bound to regret
It's a promise that was made
That's all we're leaving behind
So many un-answered prayers
What to do and where and how
And you've never even gotten a taste
Tire tracks and broken hearts
Why didn't I do this?
And one of these nights
If only, if only it was so
Like we're sharing the same skin
The loneliest words you'll ever know
And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Why didn't I take it right then?
And you've never even gotten a taste
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's something that's always been so
If you don't get it
And one of these nights
It doesn't matter what we lose
So many un-opened doors
It could've been me, it could've been me
Tire tracks and broken hearts
Tire tracks and broken hearts
It doesn't matter what we lose
So many cries in the night
That you already know
It's later than you think
Tire tracks and broken hearts
(So many ways to go fast)
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Tire tracks and broken hearts
It only matters what we're going to find
And you've never even gotten a taste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It only matters what we're going to find
I'm gonna show you
The loneliest words you'll ever know
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It only matters what we're going to find
The loneliest words you'll ever know
Why didn't I make it come true?
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Why didn't I do that?
It only matters what we're going to find
If you don't get it while it's going for free
If only, if only it was so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
That's all we're leaving behind
It's something that's always been so
So many chances you've lost
(Let's get away from the past)
While it's going for free
There's a feast waiting for you
If only, if only it was so
You can hear the darkness fall
And a kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Why didn't I make it?
It doesn't matter what we lose
