No Time...

I was feeling kind of down that day,
When out of the blue thoughts of you crossed my mind,
We'd been through so many miles and countless trials together
I thought maybe we could share a cup
of self pity together just like old times..

But when I got there someone told me
that you were no longer around..
My jaw fell open, and my heart fell straight to the ground..
And I remember crying why oh why, had I waited so damned long..

What was I thinking, I guess I was
too busy living inside of my own head..
to take the time to go
and spend some quality time with my old friend.
.
And then before I knew it,
Another year had gone by..
And all my best intentions,
Got lost and swept away.

There's just no way to turn back time,
you snooze you lose,
and there are no second chances..
no time for mending broken fences..

Time can be so utterly unforging..
I wish I had not taken it for granted..
And as if to reaffirm this lesson..
The clock is shaking it's hands at me..
Time waits for no one..
It didn't wait for me.

Time can be so utterly unforging..
I wish I had not taken it for granted..
And as if to reaffirm this lesson..
The clock is shaking it's hands at me..
Time waits for no one..
It didn't wait for me.

We take so much for granted
