Take My Time
Ben Wagner Lyrics

I’m walking
I am moving forward in life

But oh these thoughts
But my mind is filled with thoughts

Are running
They are racing

Yelling catch me if you can
Urging me to try and grasp them

And I’m wondering
And I am contemplating

If I should chase behind
If I should try to pursue them

Or stop wandering
Or stop aimlessly moving

And try to take a stand
And attempt to make a firm decision

And they keep asking where the hell I’m going
And people constantly inquire about my future plans

Who I'll be for the rest of my life
Who I will become in the long run

I don’t know where time is gonna take me
I am uncertain about the direction my life will take

I’m just trying to take my time
I am simply attempting to proceed at my own pace

Well I’m dreaming
Well, I am fantasizing

And my coffee
And my cup of coffee

Is steaming
Is emitting steam

Getting colder with time
But it is gradually losing its warmth

I’m wondering
I am pondering

If maybe all
If perhaps

This dreaming
These daydreams

Is better left to the night
Are more suitable during the nighttime

But lately I’ve been having trouble sleeping
However, recently, I have been experiencing difficulty falling asleep

I just toss and turn all night
I continuously shift positions in bed throughout the night

I don’t know where time is gonna take me
I am clueless about where life will lead me

I’m just trying to take my time
I am simply aiming to proceed at a careful pace

I’ll stay steady and I’ll move slow (x4)
I will remain stable and progress slowly

Just waiting, waiting, waiting
Just being patient, full of anticipation

Tell me that it's gonna be alright now
Assure me that everything will be fine now

Tell me that it's gonna be just fine
Tell me that everything will be perfectly okay

I don’t know where time is gonna take me
I am unsure of where life will lead me

So I’m just gonna take my time
Therefore, I will proceed slowly and carefully
