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

C'mon closer to me now

It's 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 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 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

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!



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 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, believe me!



A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

It's something that has 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

It's later than, you think and

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!

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!



Tyre 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 going to find!

Tyre 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 going to find!

Tyre 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 going to find!

Tyre 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 going to find!

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
