Figure It Out
Jill Paquette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let yourself hesitate and I will take the time
'Cause it's just like you to try running
The first time that you stand
Why don't you slow down, child
Let me take your hand and I will walk with you a while
You can talk to me
Never mind how long it has been
I see the stories in your eyes
The untold history is no disguise
'Cause it's through the surface that I see
And I've watched the anger blow you pull you drag you to your knees
Why don't you let me ease your mind
And you can rest in me a while
You can talk to me
Don't you see how much you matter to me
But you'll figure it out
You'll figure it out
All it takes is time to find what you're about
You'll figure it out
And every day's another trial
Every road is adding miles to you
And I'm praying for you to see you're free
Can't you see you're free to be free
Free to be free from everything
And you can rest, rest with me a while
You can talk, talk to me
Never mind how long it has been
'Cause you'll figure it out
You'll figure it out
'Cause all it takes is time to find what love's about
You'll figure it out
'Cause you'll figure it out
All it takes is time to find what you're about
You'll figure it out
