Freeways - Time Is No Excuse

Every time you tell me not to worry
You know exactly what I’ll do
Every time you’re in a hurry
And I’m left without a clue

Every time you speak to me,
Your eyes are glued to the floor
Anytime I look away,
I’m just daydreaming
Searching for more

Why bother trying
You’ve got to cut them loose
And I realized, on that day
I realized that time is no excuse

Frantic and discouraged
This man, he finally broke
Reflecting on the years
My departure, the final joke
Now I’m all alone
Tragic from your point of view
All good things come to an end
A chance to start anew

Why bother trying
You’ve got to cut them loose
And I realized, on that day
I realized, that time is no excuse

The artifice of knowledge
Replaced organic joy
And the realization
That I was just a decoy
But a future follows
Not the first and won’t be the last
Were all social actors
A simple role to recast

Why bother trying
You’ve got to cut them loose
And I realized, on that day
That time is no excuse
