(gang's out on the lawn, eating strawberry-lime sorbet and having a sing-along, with Scooter providing backup on guitar)
Scooter: I know you've 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,
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...
Erin: I see you around sometimes,
And my heart just melts,
You're looking 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...
All: This is the last worthless evening,
That you'll have to spend...
Just give me 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...
Beige: 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,
I've made some big mistakes, but now I promise you, I promise you...
All: This is the last worthless evening,
That you'll have to spend,
Just give me a chance,
To show you how to love again.
This is the last worthless evening,
That you'll have to spend.
'Cause it won't be long, when your little heart
Is on the mend.
Storyteller: Time, time, take it, take it...time, time, take it...take it...
Nora: People inside their houses,
With the shades pulled down.
Gosh knows we could use some romance,
In this sleepy bedroom town,
I know you're still afraid,
To rush into anything,
But there's just so many summers, friend,
And just so many springs...
All: This is the last worthless evening,
That you'll have to spend,
Just give me a chance, give me a chance,
To show you 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...
'Cause it won't be long...
'Til your little heart is on the mend...
(song ends)
Storyteller: Bravo, bravo everyone.
