Take the Time You Need
The Thirstbusters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1
What's it like to get away?
Hang your arms and let 'em sway
Just be
Take the time you need
What's it like to have a day? (You don't have to rush back into things)
Just breathe
Take the time you need
Pre-chorus
It's hard to find a moment (time you need, the time you need)
When there's crazy all the time (time you need, the time you need, it's
Time)
All the expectations (time you need, the time you need)
Pressure in your life (time you need, the time you need)
Chorus
Half the time I fall sleep
On a pile of pages I won't read
I won't need
Wonder why I'm sitting here
Try and try my best to reappear
To persevere
The feeling's near
It's always been
Prechorus
