Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got me falling to my knees
I can't find the words to
Tell you how I'm feeling
And I can't see a way to get out of this
I'm giving my all but it's not enough
No no you're taking control and I
I'm giving my all but it's not enough
No no i think I'm losing control
I'm losing control
And all these dreams won't stop
Messing with my mind i gotta take my time
Got all these things that will
Keep me up all night i gotta take my time
(Uuh) But that's what I wanted
(Uuh) I gotta take my time
(Uuh) yeah it's what I wanted
(Uuh) I gotta take my time
(I gotta take my time)
(I gotta take my time)
Ain't feeling ready right now
Can't even get up on my feet
You help me up but I end up on the ground
And I fear that
I can't find a way to not fall for this
(Not fall for this)
I'm giving my all but it's not enough
No no you're taking control and I
Cannot stop it now
I'm giving my all but it's not enough
No no
I'm losing control, I'm losing control
And all these dreams won't stop
Messing with my mind i gotta take my time
Got all these things that will
Keep me up all night i gotta take my time
(Uuh) But that's what I wanted
(Uuh) I gotta take my time
(Uuh) yeah it's what I wanted
(Uuh) I gotta take my time
(I gotta take my time)
(I gotta take my time)
Can't see eye-to-eye with myself right now
Don't know what feels right
Can't see eye-to-eye with myself right now
Don't know what feels right
And all these dreams won't stop
Messing with my mind i gotta take my time
Got all these things that will
Keep me up all night i gotta take my time
And all these dreams won't stop
Messing with my mind i gotta take my time
Got all these things that will
Keep me up all night i gotta take my time
(Uuh) But that's what I wanted
(Uuh) I gotta take my time
(Uuh) yeah it's what I wanted
(Uuh) I gotta take my time
All night, all night, all night
(I gotta take my time) uhh oohh
(I gotta take my time)
In Tim Kamrad's song "Take My Time," the lyrics speak to the overwhelming emotions and confusion that come with falling deeply for someone. The song starts with the singer questioning their own sanity, feeling as though they are losing control. They express their struggle to find the right words to convey their feelings, and they feel trapped in their emotions with no way out.
Despite giving their all in the relationship, it seems that it's not enough for the other person, who seems to have the power and control over the singer's emotions. This imbalance creates a sense of helplessness and further fuels their feelings of losing control. The singer recognizes that they need to slow down and take their time to figure things out rather than rushing into the confusing and overwhelming situation they find themselves in.
The chorus emphasizes the need for taking time, as the dreams and thoughts about the relationship continue to consume the singer's mind, keeping them up at night. The repetition of "but that's what I wanted, I gotta take my time" suggests a conflict between what the singer desires and what they feel is necessary for their emotional well-being. The song ends with the reaffirmation of the need to take time and the acknowledgment that they are unsure of what feels right for them.
