In a day with every shade of green
It filled our minds with silver screens
And held our arms above our heads
And put the world to rights again

You took the good times on the chin
Said, hold my drink I'm going in
And ran into the open sea
Of boys and girls with broken dreams

And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
They say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
Last night

When your stomach turns from too much gin
And the cigarettes are wearing thin
You see the boys are trying to fight
Yeah the brightest pricks they shine at night

We wear out hearts upon our sleeves
It's funny living through times like these
So hold on tight to someone strong
Cause everyone needs someone

And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
They say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
Last night

And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew

And, oh, they say
We're just wasting time
But they don't know the things we knew last night
Yeah they don't know the things we knew last night
Yeah they don't know the things we knew last night
