time is not mine

i have to write this down before i do anything else
if i don't, i will lose it, i might just lose you
if i do, i don't know what i would do
oh, my goodness, i've lost you
i don't know what to do.
i had a chance but left the cards alone

time is not on my watch
i don't have control over you
i don't have control over me
time is here, time was then, time was there
all i can do is live this life as time passes by

i sometimes get lost in the sky
i get light headed when i bring my eyes off the ground
i wonder if i'm going out of my head
clock in, tune out, clock out, turn the tunes up and tune out
maybe you'll come back to me

these days pass by
they come high and dry
isn't this what you wanted?
i think so, i know i'll be okay you say
these days make me mute i don't know what to do
the day does not belong to me
i can't see you
i can't see me.
what is there left to see?
if you're not here with me?
time is not mine,
