Kiss Me Hello [Tommy Shaw]

Kiss Me Hello
Written by Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw

If you had things to do over
Would you do them just the same
Would you maybe see yourself
As just a player in the game

And if hindsight's twenty-twenty
Would it help you see at all
Would you never try the mountain
Are you too afraid you'd fall

And what would you do for the money
What would you do for fun
Would you leave yourself defenseless
Would you get yourself a gun

Ooh kiss me hello
Ooh kiss me hello

Outside it's pouring and there's
No use in ignoring
That I've stayed too long

My hands are shaking
But I can't control my feet
They're making tracks for the door

Do you think you'd try the backroads
Maybe ones less clearly marked
Would you make love in the daylight
Would you come out of the dark

Would you hold your thoughts in silence
Would you free them with a shout
Would you demonstrate your patience
While your destiny's dealt out

Ooh kiss me hello
Ooh kiss me hello

Outside it's pouring and there's
No use in ignoring
That I've stayed too long

My hands are shaking
But I can't control my feet
They're making tracks for the door

No more complaining
No refraining from the way
I really wanted to go

Wish me good luck
Kiss me hello
I'm here to stay
I only needed to know

Hello
Hello

Kiss me hello

Interpretation

Do you have any regrets in our relationship? Do you have any regrets in life? Please don't kiss me goodbye, because I'm here to stay.  Instead, kiss me hello.
