When we first met you were my shining star.
Onstage you were a god with a guitar.
I reached to you but you were turned away
And all that I can say
Is there was no time for us.
You moved from Vegas to the windy city
With a philosophy major young and pretty.
You came home and you wanted me to stay
But all that I could say
Was "There's no time for us."
Chorus:
There's no time for us.
We missed each other by so much.
I can't believe our chance has passed away.
There's no time for us.
Our love has survived through so much.
I can't believe that all you have to say
Is there's no time for us.
We finally found each other to be true.
We'd loved and lost and recovered to come through
Together against the fray
To find the time for us.
But we drifted through each other's lives
Our love was clouded by our lies
Our realities tore what we had away
To make no time for us.
Chorus
And so we said that we were through,
But Lord knows that I'm missing you.
And now I can't believe
That there's no time for us.
