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
