Give It Time
Lost Lander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would wait outside of your front door
And i would give it time
(Give it time, give it time, give it time, give it time...)
I will crawl to you, crawl out of my skin
And find myself again
I will crawl to you, crawl out of my skin
And find myself again
I will crawl to you, crawl out of my skin
And find myself again
I will fall for you, i will fall for you
I will find myself again
And i will give it time
(Give it time, give it time, give it time, give it time...)
And i will give it time
(Give it time, give it time, give it time, give it time...)
Yeah, yeah
And i will give it
Ooh i will crawl to you, crawl out of my skin
And find myself again
I will crawl to you, crawl out of my skin
And find myself again
I will fall for you, i will fall for you
I will find myself again
And i will give it time.
