No Time to Lose

I've got no time to lose
My time is not infinite, I'm starting from here
Running to catch up, trying to get clear
If you ask me to stop I refuse
I've got no time to lose

I'm just trying to get through
Past thousands of others who've been there and done it
Like starting the race when they've already won it
You think I'm impatient - it's true
Just trying to get through

I can't sit and wait for someone to find me
Nothing can get in my way
Cos most of my life is now stretched out behind me
How much ahead I can't say
It's like I travelled so far in the cold wind and rain
To be told I must do it again...

And I know what they'll say
This is a game for the young and the beautiful
That much everyone knows
And I hope you don't mind me pointing it out
You are neither of those

Well I've wasted my time
I got distracted, explored every cul-de-sac
Took one step forward and another step back
So excuse me, I've got things to do
Just let me get through

I can't sit and wait for someone to find me
Nothing can get in my way
Cos most of my life is now stretched out behind me
How much ahead I can't say
It's like I travelled so far in the cold wind and rain
To be told I must start it again...

I've got no time to lose
The tide's coming in and the moon it is rising
And the clock on the wall knows my name
So I've got to keep going
And if you were in my shoes
I know that you'd do just the same

Ah I've got no time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
