[Intro: Sample from 'Take Time' by The Books] Take time 4x [Chorus: Sample from 'Take Time' by The Books] Take time 8x [Verse 1: Wiker] (Take) all the (time) you need And I'll be sure to give you all the room you need to breathe And if I ever inadvertently or purposely impede Or if I ever start to make a move and try to intercede then I'll (Take) just a little bit of (time) just enough to get my bearings And make sure my inner compa** is fine Just enough until I'm sure that if I fall it's in line And anything I say or do is innocent and benign Sometimes it (take)s considerably more (time) than you think it will To work around the walls that you built up into a citadel Know you have feelings but you swore that you would never tell Never fall again and feel the pain you felt last time you fell If I could (take) away your pain and I could (time) everything differently I would have found you years ago and had you come away with me Do everything I could so we could write a different history Forget the ambiguities and mitigate the mystery [Chorus: Sample from 'Take Time' by The Books] Take time 8x [Verse 2: Wiker] I know you think I've (take)n way more liberties and (time) than I'm entitled to And you think I'd be acting differently if what I said were true You're scared that I'll pull out the phrase that it was me it wasn't you
It wasn't meant to be there's nothing either one of us could do but (Take) a couple steps back, let me catch my breath cause this (time) if we don't take our (time) then we'll have nothing left Nothing left at all and I bet that if I would have given you my best We would not be in this situation but I guess The more I (take) the less you give and even (time) is out to get me And I wish that I could make amends but I'm not sure he'll let me I'm afraid that while you're taking time you might start to forget me You should know that if you want me you can get me And if they were to (take) away my rights and I did (time) inside a jail cell The only think I'd miss would be your face, your voice, your smell I know I made mistakes, but I hope at least that you can tell In spite of everything I did I swear I honestly meant well (Take) for example the (time) when I disappeared You kept talking to me even though you thought I couldn't hear You thought that I didn't care, but that wasn't the case I just needed time to think so I could figure out what I should say so (Take) all the (time) you need And I promise I won't get in your way I've made mistakes, but I swear that I'll do what it takes To make sure things are different if you stay [Chorus: Sample from 'Take Time' by The Books] Take time 8x
