Take Your Time
J.P. McDermott & Western Bop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I know I been sleepin' and being with you gon' take time
Trust always gotta come first, I won't break yours if you don't break mine
Never could hide this feeling, I'm swimming in the deep end
Need to control my breathing, I do it for my own reasons
Oh I know I been sleepin' and being with you gon' take time
Trust always gotta come first, I won't break yours if you don't break mine
Never could hide this feeling, I'm swimming in the deep end
Need to control my breathing, I do it for my own reasons
She got secrets ah that she wanna keep
I got places yeah that I like to meet
We can walk, we could talk, find a way kill to ops
Even if we stumble we can always cover up
Shawty got the keys to whip, then we go
Never had a bandit life, I know
Under the sunset and that moonlight and I know that the mood right
Sometimes we moving too fast, slow down had to put it pause
Don't care bout yo sins and yo flaws
As long you giving me jaws
Don't care about fake, what they gon' do
You had to learn to put it above you
Some things you say they ain't true
Hop off a jet grab a bite at the Nobu
Don't care about fake, what they gon' do
You had to learn to put it above you
Some things you say they ain't true
Hop off a jet grab a bite at the Nobu
Oh I know I been sleepin' and being with you gon' take time
Trust always gotta come first, I won't break yours if you don't break mine
Never could hide this feeling, I'm swimming in the deep end
Need to control my breathing, I do it for my own reasons
Oh I know I been sleepin' and being with you gon' take time
Trust always gotta come first, I won't break yours if you don't break mine




Never could hide this feeling, I'm swimming in the deep end
Need to control my breathing, I do it for my own reasons
