Time
Swedish House Mafia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Takes time to heal
Takes time to know where your heart is at
Takes time to be real
But days keep on passing me by

Takes time to heal
Takes to know where your heart is at
Takes a man to be real
Takes a woman to know that

Takes time to heal
Takes time to be real
Takes time to heal
Takes to know where your heart is at
Takes a man to be real
Takes a woman to know that

Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time

It takes time to heal
Takes time to know where your heart is at
Takes time to be real
But days keep on passing me by

It takes time to heal
It takes to know where your heart is at
It takes a man to be real
It takes a woman to know that

Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time




Takes time
Takes time
