Lyrics:
When you go down below with something you don't know That's lost time, that's just time you gave away If you get caught on the up and find you're in a rut Well that's lost time, just an unpaid holiday Losing 10 years on a premonition Lord it felt you were on a mission But really there was something missing
That's lost time, that's lost time, wishing all the world were mine That's lost time, that's what everybody's saying And you thought you'd find some shelter But there's just helter skelter And really not a thing to help you That's lost time
Go with what she said about that country music That's lost time, that's just lovers playing games Chatter in your head, let it follow you to bed And that's lost time, that's just echoes in your brain Living like there would be no tomorrow With nothing permanent to borrow Now you're drowning in the sorrow
That's lost time, that's lost time, you were always on my mind And that's lost time, that's what all the people say And you thought you'd love forever Now she won't pull your lever But really you just ain't that clever
That's lost time, that's lost time, wishing all the world were mine That's lost time, that's what everybody say And you thought you'd find some shelter But there's just helter skelter And really not a thing to help you That's lost time
That's lost time
