Give It Some Time lyrics

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 . .
