## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Tumbling dice, tears in my eyes

Drowning in neon lights

Whatever got me through the night

Whatever got me through the night

Bottomless glass, always the last

Up 'til the sun would rise

Whatever got me through the night

Whatever got me through the night

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And it's so bittersweet, now looking back

Through the clouds of smoke and the broken glass

And when I hold you, I gotta know

**[Chorus]**

Where you've been all my life and all the wasted nights

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time we've been missing

Hold me tight 'cause we got all damn night

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time we've been missing

**[Verse 2]**

I couldn't miss what I'd never had 'til I was in your hands

And let you love me through the night

(Let you love me through the night)

Breath on my cheek, no need to speak, I'm feeling you everywhere

And let you love me through the night

(Let you love me through the night)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And it's so bittersweet now, looking back

Through the clouds of smoke and the broken glass

And when I hold you, I gotta know

**[Chorus]**

Where you've been all my life and all the wasted nights

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time we've been missing

Hold me tight 'cause we got all damn night

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time when I didn't have you, ooh, you, ooh

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time when I didn't have you, ooh, you, ooh

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time we've been missing

**[Bridge]**

And it's so bittersweet now, looking back (Looking back)

Through the clouds of smoke and the broken glass (Broken glass)

And all of the love that left me cold, suddenly feel my heart unfold

When you pull me closer

**[Chorus]**

Where you've been all my life and all the wasted nights

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time we've been missing

Hold me tight 'cause we got all damn night

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time when I didn't have you, ooh, you, ooh

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time when I didn't have you, ooh, you, ooh

We should be making up for the time we've been missing

Making up for the time we've been missing

**[Outro]**

No more lost time, no more lost time, darling, hmm

No more lost time, no more lost time, darling
