First you want to stay, then you want to go,

now you're gonna say "I told you so"

Well, come on, take a break and cast your net,

free from the burden of more regret



I just want you to slow down and rest your eyes

Come on, we'll drop those plans and improvise

We'll step aside from it all, things'll fall in line

give it some time, give it some time . . .



You know you're all wound up and that's a crime

You're acting tongue-tied and doing pantomime

First you leap ahead, then you fall behind

in your search for answers you might never find



I've grown tired of argument, let's compromise

There might be solutions we don't yet realize

We'll step aside from it all . . . things'll fall in line

give it some time, give it some time . . .



Come on take a risk and feel the thrill

You're doing too much thinking and thoughts can kill

Yeah, take a chance and leave a mark

before the sun goes down and the sky grows dark



Let's curl up by the fire and watch the embers die

The whisper of the wind become our lullabye

We'll step aside from it all, things'll fall in line

give it some time, give it some time . .
