No Time For Love by El Sancho (ontario) Lyrics
(Verse 1)
No more travelling to hell and back seeking heaven
I got the heart of a champion for a secret weapon
I got a long way to go, gotta keep progressing
Cause I ain't trying to finish last, or even second
All I can do now is quit while I'm ahead
Either way, one of us will be wishing I was dead
Everybody wants to know where I disappeared to
Same old story coming to a rhythm near you
This is open and shut, it's no long-winding case
Just the wrong chance meeting at the wrong time and place
When the took me for a stroll somewherе south of sanity
Couldn't hear me calling out for help and shouting frantically
Causе I played along through the red flags, waving on
You heard it all before like the words to your favorite song
I should've knew all along, but never mind that
Cause hindsight is 20-20 to a blind bat
(Chorus)
No time for love, I need a change of pace from these same mistakes
Gotta get my head straight on my own before it's too late, so I say
(NO!) No time for (x4)
(Nah!) See you in the next life, in the meantime
Sorry, all I have to say is no time for love
(Verse 2)
Never noticed I was falling out of focus
But I'm waking up at last and all is looking hopeless
It's evident that every little thing you said was bogus
Never been caught slipping but this call was the closest
So I'm about to do more than making the most
Of my situation and hopelessly chasing a ghost
No second chance or exchange policy - what good is a winning ticket if everybody won the same lottery
Part-time sucker turned full-time ice king
Took a little time but I finally did the right thing
Made the executive decision to sound off
Instead of spending every minute living like groundhogs
I found it all too much to keep to myself
Only the higher I tried climbing, the deeper I fell
It was a good run, you really had me going, I can't lie
But picture me surrendering and holding my hands high
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Going my way, nothing I would rather do
Won't get fooled again by anyone, doesn't matter who
Thanks to the latest fine mess that I landed in
While my homeboys played the world's smallest mandolin
They told me over and over, I didn't listen
When they said to take some time out like an intermission
But I ran with suspicion off an overnight suggestion
Ignoring every warning that was thrown in my direction
Might as well disappear so I can tell the difference here
Never seen tripping with my eyes swelling, dripping tears
Cause on the real, it wasn't nothing to lose
So thanks for saving me from another hustle or two
I had never even speculated till I saw your second face
You ain't even got a reputation I can desecrate
Couldn't let a little dose of poison taint my recipe
So I stood my lady up to make a date with destiny
(Chorus)
No more travelling to hell and back seeking heaven
I got the heart of a champion for a secret weapon
I got a long way to go, gotta keep progressing
Cause I ain't trying to finish last, or even second
All I can do now is quit while I'm ahead
Either way, one of us will be wishing I was dead
Everybody wants to know where I disappeared to
Same old story coming to a rhythm near you
This is open and shut, it's no long-winding case
