A crack in the smile
But she’s always in style
While she waits
Waving goodbye
But she’s too tired to cry
And she’s wasted
A letter he wrote
But it’s far too exposed
So he throws it away
The sound of regret
As it’s counting the steps back to safe

Chorus:
Ooooh
Don’t wanna leave you with
Perfume and promises
But we’ll never know
Till we capture and bottle it
Cause wouldn’t it be such a shame
If all was wasted

Not an inch of the room
That isn’t in bloom or in light
So we drink till it’s dawn
Every drip till it’s gone
And we’re wasted
It’s a thing of the truth
But we’ll lie and we’ll look
For the perfect escape
And the moment will go
Like melted snow in the rain

Chorus:
Ooooh
Don’t wanna leave you with
Perfume and promises
But we’ll never know
Till we capture and bottle it
Cause wouldn’t it be such a shame
If all was wasted

Stay for another morning
Study the curves of my face
Stay even when we’re unknowing
Stay till they tear you away

Chorus:
Ooooh
Don’t wanna leave you with
Perfume and promises
But we’ll never know
Till we capture and bottle it
Cause wouldn’t it be such a shame
If all was wasted
