Killing Time

He's got no place to go.
She sits in an empty bedroom
Playing the radio.
Every day they're regretting
All the things never tried;
Every day they're dyin'
Just a little bit more inside.

All the lonely people,
Waiting all their lives,
They're empty and they're aching;
You can see it in their eyes.

Time is slipping away, passing us by,
You're wondering why but it's gone,
Gone forever my friend,
And it won't come again
So don't try to pretend you feel
Fine! Killing time, killing time...

You feel it's now or never,
But the words don't seem to come.
The fabric of your dreams
Starts to come undone.
You realize it's over,
Before it has begun.
You're reaching for something special
But that someone never comes.

You're on your own now,
But you're living out a lie.
This killing time is wasting you,
I can see it in your eyes.

Time is slipping away, passing us by,
You're wondering why but it's gone,
Gone forever my friend,
And it won't come again
So don't try to pretend you feel
Fine! Killing time, killing time...

The time we waste on hate,
Full of anger and jealousy.
The times we act so cruel,
All the times you turned on me.
All those lonely yesterdays
When we were killing time.
I needed you more than ever;
Couldn't you see it in my eyes?

Time was slipping away,
Passing us by, now I could cry
'Cause it's gone. Gone forever my friend
And it won't come again;
It's moved on and left us behind...

Time is slipping away, passing us by,
You're wondering why but it's gone,
Gone forever my friend,
And it won't come again
So don't try to pretend you feel
Fine! Killing time, killing time...
