[Verse 1]
I could've walked around the world a couple times
I could've swam across the ocean and back again
Made a wish on every star that Galileo drew
For all the time I've wasted on you

[Verse 2]
I could have downed a million beers in Mexico
Counted every piece of gravel on a long county road
Sailed that slow boat to China, right up to the moon
For all the time I've wasted on you

[Chorus]
Time goes by and when it's gone, it's gone, and you realize
Time just lies and you did not move on
No, you just cried, you just cried

[Verse 3]
I could've filled the Mississippi river with my tears
No telling what I could have done with all these years
I could've dug out the Grand Canyon with a spoon
For all the time I've wasted on you

[Chorus]
Time goes by and when it's gone, it's gone, and you realize
Time just lies and you did not move on
No, you just cried, you just cried
