Hanging out on the corner
He's got no place to go
She sits in an empty bedroom
Playing the radio

Everyday 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
It's just passing them by
And they'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, oh

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
It's just passing them 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
It's just passing them by
They'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, time
