Time's Up Lyrics

I spend half of each day just eyeing the clock
And dream of all the things I'd like to do

And nothing ever changes from day to day -
I've just been guarding this desk for you.
It's a mayday
It's a mayday
There must be something else I could do -
It's a mayday
It's a mayday
Instead of guarding this desk for

Time's Up! You've been wishing your life away.
Time's up! You've been wishing your life away.
I'm getting very tired of waiting for the weekend

Then there's nothing when it comes around.
I need a little more excitement
Give me some adventure -
I don't know you' ve held me this long.
It's a mayday
It's a mayday
Time just marches on.
It's a mayday
It's a mayday
I don't know how you've held me this long.
Time's up! You've been wishing your life away. . . .
Chances are chances and I know I've had a few
But at the time it just seemed wrong

Now I'm sitting here wondering
Waiting watching out his window
And I'm sure my day will come.
It's a mayday
It's a mayday
Time just marches on -
It's a mayday
It's a mayday
But I'm sure my day will come.
Time's up! You've been wishing your life away. . . .
Time's up! You've been wishing your life away. . . .

Time's Up Song Chart

A track from the Canadian band Saga's most successful album, "Time's Up" wasn't a hit but did become a live favorite. In our interview with lead singer Michael Sadler , he talked about the song's meaning: "It's about being a daydreamer and a man of inaction sitting there going, 'Well, if I could do this and I could do that.' And before you know it, time has passed by and you didn't do any of those things you were thinking. You didn't act on any one of them.

You may have some passion about a few different things, but if you just sit there going, 'Boy, wouldn't it be great if I did this?' And 'Wouldn't it be great if I did that?' Well, you'd better get off your tush and start doing something, brother, because it's going to be too late to do something about it before you know it."
