Lyrics and translation
Original
I wonder if I have the nerve to say what I've been thinking about.
Lately, could you ever come around?
I wonder if I have the words to write you, would you figure it out?
Baby, are you gonna let me down?
'Cause I get tongue-tied and carried away.
And somehow next summer starts in a week from today.
So there's no time to waste.
You've got your car and no plan to stay.
And I won't be left here out on the street as you wave.
No, there's no time to waste at the end of May.
You chose a seat next to me.
Last fall and I've been playing it cool.
Lately,
I've been looking for a sign.
Was it a dream?
Did you see all the nerves walking home after school?
Baby, you couldn't look me in the eye. Oh, no.
'Cause I get tongue-tied and carried away.
And somehow next summer starts in a week from today.
So there's no time to waste.
You've got your car and no plan to stay.
And I won't be left here out on the street as you wave.
No, there's no time to waste at the end of May.
Have I waited too long?
Is it too late to change your mind?
I know each moment leaves me one more step behind.
Have I waited too long?
Is it too late to make you mine?
I know each day leaves me one more step to climb.
I get tongue-tied and carried away.
And somehow next summer starts in a week from today.
So there's no time to waste.
You've got your car and no plan to stay.
And I won't be left here out on the street as you wave.
No, there's no time to waste at the end of May.
No, there ain't no time.
Oh yeah, baby.
No, there's no time to waste at the end of May.
No, there ain't no time to waste.
No, I can't watch you drive away.
No, there's no time to waste at the end of May.
