I stand on my own two feet
We could die on the same page next week
If you don't do what you want, say what you mean
Don't do it at all, don't do that to me
I think of the stain and know it is long
The way that someone is leaving this world
Can be so sentimental
Maybe I'm too sentimental

And as you lay here wishing for last week
You'll never get back what you spent on me
Time waits for no one (time waits for no one)
Naturally (naturally)
If we could be no one (we could be no one)
We could be free
Time, you and me

He'll waste the days till forty-five
Then say: How lonely am I, how lonely am I
And regrets the time as he waits to die
'Cause he never did what he thought he might
And everybody rides the carousel, that's what it cost
To get on again and off again, to lose the ones you love
But to have them for the hours and the minutes that there was
Hours that there was

And as you lay here wishing for last week
You'll never get back what you spent on me
Time waits for no one (time waits for no one)
So naturally (naturally)
If we could be no one (we could be no one)
We could be free
Time, you and me
Time, you and me, oh

Come now, let's walk down the long road ahead
You could be someone or someone instead

And as you lay here wishing for last week
You'll never get back what you spent on me
Time waits for no one (time waits for no one)
Naturally, mm (naturally)
If we could be no one (we could be no one)
We could be free
Time, you and me
