Not long ago it became clear to me,
that you and I were not meant to be
’cause you made fun of the things that I did,
and said I was acting like I was a kid
And all of my friends are passing me by,
and I don’t seem worried, you’d like to know why
’cause one day my kind will wake up to find,
that everyone’s gone and time’s left you behind
Time’s left you behind
Time is just passing me by
You say time’s left you behind
But I think it’s all in your mind
I know you don’t like lots of things that I do,
but I’m not passing my judgements on you
So don’t go on telling me that I’m wrong
This has been going on now far too long
And what is it you think that you have on me
I’m standing here waiting, I’m dying to see
’cause someday quite soon I hope that you find
the tables have turned and time’s left you behind
Time’s left you behind
Time is just passing you by
You say time’s left you behind
But I think it’s all in your mind
(Solo)
You said you’d come back when you were all through
with all of those other things you had to do
I hope that you realize it’s time to move on
when you come back home and you find that I’ve gone
’cause I’m on my way to start a new day
I’m sure that we both can find some other way
You may not agree, but I hope that you see,
’cause I’ve no complaints with what’s happened to me
This time, time’s left you behind
This time it’s not in your mind
Time’s left you behind
I’ve left you so far behind
Time’s left you behind
Time’s left you behind
Time’s left you behind
You’ve stepped out of time
Time’s left you behind
