Let's play it back 
 When we were young and free 
 You looked into my eyes and you told me 
 I don't know if I can stay awake through the night 
 But I know I'll dream about you on my way back home 
    All the wasted nights 
 You know I'm gonna miss those days 
 When we waste our nights away 
 (Waste our nights away) 
 Gotta get this right 
 Just a couple of castaways 
 And a wasted night   
 It's late at night, the TV's on 
 I see you, wild and free on the big, bright screen 
 Well, I got caught 
 Got caught up in between 
 A faded memory that I still keep in my head   
 All the wasted nights 
 You know I'm gonna miss those days 
 When we waste our nights away 
 (Waste our nights away) 
 Gotta get this right (get this right) 
 Just a couple of castaways 
 And a wasted night 
 (Waste our nights away)   
 I think we met around the first of May 
 I know I miss it like a slow, warm day 
 I wanna know what it felt like in that photograph 
 It's been a while since I had the chance 
 I'll play it back for another dance 
 I wanna know what it felt like in that photograph   
 All the wasted nights (wasted nights) 
 You know I'm gonna miss those days (I miss those days) 
 When we waste our nights away 
 (Waste our nights away) 
 Gotta get this right (get this right) 
 Just a couple of castaways 
 And a wasted night 
 (Waste our nights away)
