Take My Time
J.T. Spangler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see my point of view?
And every time we speak
It leave me weak
When you're running away 'cause you don't wanna hear what I say
Is it me, is it you, could it all have been a mistake?
But I won't give up
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching it wrong and it isn't enough to get by
And I wanna stay
Nobody's fault, but we both feel the pain
It's a shame
And we've talked of change but everything remains just the same
When you're running away 'cause you don't wanna hear what I say
Is it me, is it you, could it all have been a mistake?
But I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching it wrong and it isn't enough to get by
I wanna stay
You sacrifice, who's wrong or right?
Let's stick together now more than ever
I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching this wrong and it isn't enough to get by
And I wanna stay
