Take My Time
Menna Lyrics

I don't even notice the morning
I am so consumed by my busy lifestyle and relentless schedule that I fail to acknowledge the beginning of a new day.

Before it's bleeding into night
Time passes so swiftly for me that the morning seamlessly transitions into the night, without me even realizing it.

And I don't press pause 'cause it's boring
I resist stopping or taking breaks in my fast-paced life because I find it uninteresting and unfulfilling.

No rest for the starry-eyed
As someone driven by ambition and dreams, I cannot afford to rest or relax, constantly pursuing my goals with unwavering determination.

I don't have time for distractions
I prioritize my time and energy solely towards my objectives, disregarding any potential interruptions or diversions.

And a bad romance I can't do
I am unwilling to engage in a complicated or emotionally draining romantic relationship, as it would only hinder my progress and focus.

But if we're both backstage when all of the lights fade
However, if we coincide in a moment of solitude after the spotlight fades and the chaos subsides, I might consider opening up to you.

Maybe I'll let you
There is a possibility that I will allow you into my guarded world and share my precious time with you.

I gave all my time for power and money
I dedicated the entirety of my time and energy towards acquiring wealth and influence, neglecting the pursuit of love and emotional fulfillment.

Now it's love I can't afford
As a consequence of my choices, I find myself unable to invest in or prioritize love and relationships due to my demanding lifestyle.

Tell myself that I'm too busy to be lonely
To cope with my feelings of isolation, I convince myself that my busy schedule exempts me from experiencing loneliness, despite it lingering within me.

But I leave the latch in the hotel door
Despite presenting an image of self-sufficiency, I subconsciously leave a door open, hoping for someone to enter and fill the void within me.

Oh the twenty hours that I'm awake
Throughout the long hours I remain awake and active, continuously striving towards success and accomplishment.

Always end with an encore
My relentless efforts and performances consistently conclude with an additional display of talent and brilliance, always seeking to exceed expectations.

But there's a key at the desk, if you're up that late
In the event that you find yourself awake and desiring connection during the late hours, there is a key available at the front desk for you to access my private space.

You can have the other four
I am willing to sacrifice four precious hours of my limited time to be with you, offering a rare opportunity for companionship and intimacy.

Is it already morning?
Expressing surprise and disbelief at the passing of time, questioning whether dawn has already arrived and our time together is coming to an end.

You should probably go
Acknowledging that it is probably best for you to depart, considering my busy schedule and the responsibilities that await me.

I gotta get ready for the next show
I urgently need to prepare myself for the upcoming performance or event, leaving no room for lingering or prolonging our encounter.

Yeah I'm already running late
I find myself already behind schedule, lacking the luxury of extra time and therefore unable to accommodate further delays.

So I need you to go
My circumstances and time constraints necessitate your departure, as it is not feasible for me to have you remain by my side any longer.

But if you wanna stay
However, if you genuinely desire to extend our time together and challenge the limitations of my schedule, there is a possibility of reconsideration.

Hands move slowly when you hold me
When you embrace me, time seems to decelerate, allowing us to fully savor the moment and appreciate each other's presence and affection.

Always waste it right, so
Despite my propensity for time management and efficiency, I recognize the value of indulging in moments of leisure and enjoyment, making the most out of every experience.

Take my time, take my time, take my
I offer you the opportunity to claim a portion of my limited time, urging you to make the most of it and cherish the moments we have together.

Take my time, take mine
I entrust you with the responsibility and privilege of taking control of the time we spend together, allowing you to dictate its pace and direction.

Hands move slowly when you hold me
Emphasizing how time appears to slow down when we are intimately connected, reveling in the tenderness and intimacy shared.

Always waste it right, so
Acknowledging that our time together may be considered wasteful from a productivity standpoint, yet recognizing its worth and significance in terms of emotional fulfillment and enjoyment.

Take my time, take my time, take my
Repeating the invitation to seize the limited time I offer, urging you to fully embrace and appreciate the moments we have together.

Take my time, take mine
Encouraging you to seize the opportunity to claim ownership of the time shared between us, allowing you to influence and shape its course.
