Hanging out on the corner,
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
