Take Your Time
Simon Webbe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I've been there, I've been scared
So many deals that I've been in and then out
Turned dreams into nightmares
Then I realized my wants only criticized my needs
I didn't make enough cheese
I couldn't figure out my wrongs and I found it hard to breathe
When I'm under the weather
Feels like my world is coming down
And my job could be better
That's just today's news, maybe tomorrow this is we can do
Seize the day, change your life
Find all of your limits in the sky
Take a moment, clear your mind
Believe that your angels never lie
Change is good, just keep it movin'
Uncover new colors that are kind
Different ways, brand new heights
Don't worry just take your time, and you'll be fine
Too many people get frightening or lightening
Always strikes them in the same place twice
Never seeking true guidance it might be
They need a little direction in life
It's alright to cry (sometimes)
When I'm under the weather
Feels like my world is coming down
And my job could be better
Yeah and that's today's news, you see tomorrow this is we can do
Seize the day, change your life
Find all of your limits in the sky
Take a moment, clear your mind
Believe that your angels never lie
Change is good, just keep it movin'
Uncover new colors that are kind
Different ways, brand new heights
Don't worry just take your time, and you'll be fine
You don't have to be fed up each and every day of your life
(Stop complaining just stop all the hating open your eyes)
And the world will be better if you believe and you try
(Stop complaining about things you can't get)
You won't know till you try
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop till we try
We won't stop till we try
We won't stop
We won't stop
We won't stop till we try
Seize the day, change your life
Find all of your limits in the sky
Take a moment, clear your mind
Believe that your angels never lie
Change is good, just keep it movin'
Uncover new colors that are kind
Different ways, brand new heights
Don't worry just take your time, and you'll be fine
Seize the day, change your life
Find all of your limits in the sky
Take a moment, clear your mind
Believe that your angels never lie
Change is good, just keep it movin'
Uncover new colors that are kind
Different ways, brand new heights
Don't worry just take your time, and you'll be fine
