It’s been on your mind for a while
I can see it in that private smile you say
No race to the finish line
We’ve got nothing here but time
You’ve got to learn to take it slow
Whoa, take your time, take your time.

She says you run everywhere you go
I bet you 10 bucks you don’t even know
It’s a mountain steep to climb
To know what is on my mind
You never know what you might find
Whoa, take your time, take your time.

Chorus
It’s not a storybook where you hurry to the end
Don’t want to cross the line before we even begin
So listen up, don’t want to say it again
Whoa, take your time.

Here there is no right or wrong
Here there is no weak or strong
No race to the finish line
We’ve got nothing here but time
Sometimes you gotta take it slow
Whoa, take your time, take your time.
