Making Up For Lost Time

words & music: Allan Thomas

IT’S NOT ALWAYS A WALK IN THE PARK
NOT ALWAYS SMOOTH SAILING
YOU TRY TO CLAW YOUR WAY OUT OF THE DARK
WHICH SEEMS TO LAST FOREVER

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE MISSED
SOME STOPS ALONG THE WAY
FORGOT TO SMELL THE ROSES
I WANT TO MAKE IT UP RIGHT NOW
WHILE THE WORLD IS SLEEPING
I’M MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME

SEEMS I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A LATE BLOOMER
ONE BEAT BEHIND
BUT LIKE THE TORTOISE IN THAT FABLE
I’M GONNA CROSS THAT FINISH LINE

WHATS THE POINT IN GOING FROM A TO B
IF YOU DON’T SEE THE SCENERY
I WANNA MAKE IT UP AND THEN SOME
WHILE THE WORLD IS SLEEPING
I’M MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME

I WALK THE MOON SHADOWS WHILE YOU DREAM
DON’T WANT TO MISS A THING

YOUTH IS MOMENTARY SOON COME GRAY
FOLLOWING LIKE A SHADOW
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOU GET CARRIED AWAY
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A CLUE

THINGS THAT ONCE WERE OH SO SERIOUS BEFORE
NOW TAKE ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING
I WANT TO MAKE IT UP IN SPADES
MAKE SOME MEMORIES WORTH KEEPING
WHILE THE WORLD IS SLEEPING

I’M MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
LIVING MY LIFE TO THE MAXIMUM
DROPPING IN ON THE BIG ONE
LAYING IT ON THE LINE
I’M MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
