I Got No Time For You - Yellow Ostrich

When you were seventeen

I was nothing but a thought

Because you were then in '53

There’s nothing yet of me

When you were taking your first steps

My grandfather took his test

To get into the second grade

A million miles away

So I got no time for you

I saw the pictures of the day

When you grew up and moved away

Your mother, she looked proud of you

It’s all that she could do

I saw the photos when you cried

I saw the photos when you died

I saw the start, I saw it all

I know you better than yourself

But if I was alive when you were alive

Things would be better

So I got not time for you
