Take Your Time
Jarreau Vandal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

2AM, I'm lying in my bed
getting tired of lying to myself
everyday it's like another line
i say i need you but you need some time
it's you i wanna be together with
but you just wanna be together-ish
what's with all the hesitation?
all this good love i got here waiting

and you know that my patience been strong
but i won't be waiting for forever long
it's time that we take some time to finally figure out
what this love is really all about
friends just ain't friendly enough, no rush

CHORUS:
take your time, woah
(take a breathe), yea
(hold it in), yea
(count to ten)
take your time
(we leaping in), woah
(take a swim), yea
(begin again), alright

more of these emotions by the day
more reasons why i try to stay
why find an excuse, when you can find a way?
sound like something my mama'd say
mama-say, mama-sah, mamakusa
girl, i love you so much, imma take you to my favorite taco spot

say you're sure then i'll give you my all
though, those broken promises won't break my fall
it's time that we take a step and finally figure out
what this love is really all about
friends just ain't friendly enough, no rush

CHORUS:

take your time, woah
(take a breathe), yea
(hold it in), yea
(count to ten)
take your time
(we leaping in), woah
(take a swim), yea
(begin again)

take your time
i'll be right here
make up your mind




oooh
sink and you'll find
