I know you broke up with him

 And your heart's still on the shelf

It's been over two years for me

 And I'm still not quite myself

You can't be with someone new

 And you can't go back to him

You're beginning to realize

 That it's sink or swim

I see you around sometimes

 And my heart just melts

Lookin like if you had your wish

 You'd be somewhere else

And it just breaks my heart

 To see you here this way

Someday I'll get the nerve

 To walk up to you and say

 This is the last worthless evening

 That you'll have to spend

 Just gimme a chance

 To show you how to love again

 This is the last worthless evening

 That you'll have to spend

 Cause I'll be there

 When your broken heart is on the mend

Every night it's the same old crowd

In smoky rooms

You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes

But it never blooms

I've been around this block

A time or two

And I've made some big mistakes

But girl I promise you, I promise you

 This is the last worthless evening

 That you'll have to spend

Just gimme a chance

 To show you how to love again

This is the last worthless evening

 That you'll have to spend

 Cause I'll be there

 When your broken heart is on the mend

Time time ticking, ticking away

Time time ticking, ticking away

People inside their houses

With the shades pulled down

God knows we could use some romance

In this sleepy bedroom town

I know you're still afraid

To rush into anything

But there're just so many summers

And just so many springs

 This is the last worthless evening

 That you'll have to spend

Just gimme a chance

 To show you how to love again

This is the last worthless evening

 That you'll have to spend

 Cause I'll be there

 When your broken heart is on the mend
