Take Your Time
Azar Steve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watched you playing by the river
Running through the cotton fields
Growing up way too fast
Lost in your own little world
You were only fifteen going on twenty-one
Working on trying to skip on past
You feel all that fire in your heart
I hear that boy pulling up in his car
You wanna leave
Think you're ready to fly
Say you know what you want
And you've made up your mind
But there'll never be another
Like this moment in your life
Take it from me
Ah girl, Take your time
So much of me in you
I was always in a hurry
And I knew where I was heading
I was gonna get there yesterday
Love will come out of the blue
And it's never what you think it is
And even if it really is
It ain't gonna hurt to wait
I see and know where you are
You feel all that fire in your heart
I hear that boy pulling up in his car
You wanna leave
Think you're ready to fly
Say you know what you want
And you've made up your mind
But there'll never be another
Like this moment in your life
Take it from me
Ah yeah, take your time
I see and know where you are
You feel all that fire in your heart
I hear that boy driving up in his car
You wanna leave
Think you're ready to fly
Say you know what you want
And you've made up your mind
But there'll never be another
Like this moment in your life
Take it from me
Ah girl, take your time
Take your time
Ah baby girl, if you really want
Take your time
The song “Take Your Time” by Azar Steve is a reflective ballad, spoken from the point of view of a person who has gone through the same journey as the singer, and is now trying to advise her to slow down and enjoy the moment. The lyrics depict the life of a young girl who is growing up too fast, trying to skip ahead of her age. She thinks she knows what she wants and has made up her mind to leave, but the singer tries to make her understand that this moment in her life is unique and she should take her time to explore it. The singer reflects on his own journey and how he was always in a hurry to reach his destination, but realized that love does not wait for anyone, and when it comes, it’s never what you expect.
The overarching message of the song is to slow down and enjoy life. The singer tries to teach the girl that life moves fast, and moments like this will never come again. The singer is so caught up in the excitement of growing up and becoming an adult that she doesn't realize the beauty of the present moment. The singer wants her to understand that even when you think you know what you want, it might not be what you really need. The advice given in the song is timeless, and the message is universal, making the song relatable and inspiring.
