It seems like everybody here is just rushing on through
No one has the time to care about you, oh
Yet they say that patience is a virtue, if only they could show it off too
But remember friend, I’ll say to you…
Give it time, oh give it time
Don’t you worry ‘bout today, or of tonight
Give it time, oh give it time
If you’re feeling stuck today, you’ll be alright
And sometimes, you may say you’re not good enough
But remember, it’s those who try who turn out tough
Give it time, oh give it time, give it time
I remember when I first saw you play your song, I wanted to sing along, yeah
And I told you: You were so good. There was no reason for you to feel wrong, yeah
Well even people like you that just keep on moving on and on, have their times when they gotta stop
So maybe we can sit on back and just wait for the time to pass, hoping that the good will last
Give it time, oh give it time
Don’t you worry ‘bout today, or of tonight
Give it time, oh give it time
If you’re feeling stuck today, you’ll be alright
And sometimes, you may say you’re not good enough
But remember, it’s those who try who turn out tough
Give it time, oh give it time, give it time
But you gotta go back to the place where love is kind and love will wait
Patiently, while you’re away
But remember every time that you just feel like you can’t keep on going on
Or when your life gets in the way, oh
Balancing, everything, just listen to these words I’ll say
Give it time, oh give it time
Don’t you worry ‘bout today, or of tonight
Give it time, oh give it time
If you’re feeling stuck today, you’ll be alright
And sometimes, you may say you’re not good enough
But remember, it’s those who try who turn out tough
Give it time, oh give it time, give it time
Give it time, oh give it time
Give it time, oh give it time
Give it time
Your breath smells like morning tea, in the morning breeze
Breathing me into new life
Leaves crushed under sunlight’s gentle hand soak in
And the honey makes the bitter go down smooth
You hair feels like morning dew, and the green grass too
Soft and sleepy on bare feet
Don’t you disappear when sunlight comes around
Don’t you forget that I’ll make you morning tea
Let the water bathe your bones
And light them up
Flicker fire from the wood burning inside
The fire that keeps me warm
If I care for you will you take care of me?
I’ll give you drink as long as you give me the fire
Hold me close don’t ever let this moment go
For each breath you take is gonna fly me higher
Let the morning wait for you
There’s nothing you have to do
You complain that you don’t have enough time
So don’t leave this moment behind
But you tell me that you’re gonna have to go
And leave me here to stay
No more nights to have your heartbeat next to mine
What will I do from now on, without your fire
Your breath smells like morning tea, in the morning breeze
Breathing me into new life
Though you have to leave this world with me behind
Your fire will always shine
If I care for you will you take care of me?
I’ll give you drink as long as you give me the fire
Hold me close don’t ever let this moment go
For each breath you take is gonna fly me higher
Oh, am I the only one who feels like a kid, oh yeah
Well the dreams that I dream are harder than they seem to achieve
All the college kids are thinking of their majors to the real world
As I try to write another song, yet what went wrong is that it’s too long
For me to sit and study and keep on
I’m always walking fast to get to class, but everybody’s always walking faster
Tunes in their ears from an iPod playing, never tryna glance the other person’s way
Tryna keep their business just to themselves
If you ain’t gonna be professional, well you’re gonna disappear
But all I wanna do is play my songs for the world to hear
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Is it what I want, is it what I need, I’m sitting in my dorm room reading these
Books that I got for quite a fee, but at the same time I’m not really sure
If the words on the page are reaching me
All I read are novels, never read the papers, maybe what’s real is just too gray for
Me to say anything of value. What’s the breaking news today?
Reporters say, they don’t know which way or just how long the facts will stay
If you speak the truth they’ll shout you down, call it what you want it don’t matter now
Everyone’s offended, everyone’s ignited, don’t engage just dive into
The flames of everyone’s political rage
I try to stay cool, but there’s no rule that
All that you do’s gotta be for living
Gotta make time to just relax, take off my shoes and lie in bed
cause fuck it all, I just wanna sleep but, adults don’t have time for that
If you ain’t gonna be professional, well you’re gonna disappear
But all I wanna do is play my songs for the world to hear
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
When I walk into the room
Everybody looks up
I can’t slide by or just fit in
Yet no one stops to speak to me
So I do the same
I keep my eyes down to the ground
Down to the ground, down to the ground, down to the -
Down to the ground down to the ground Down to the ground, down to the ground, down to the -
Down to the ground
I see leaves on the ground
I wanna make a pile
And just jump in
And disappear
To a new place
Where I am not
Timid anymore
If you ain’t gonna be professional, well you’re gonna disappear
But all I wanna do is play my songs for the world to hear, ohh
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Just keep on, and keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Won’t you keep on, just keep on, and keep on, and keep on dreamin
Ohh
I see clouds falling to the ground
Sometimes I wish they could surround
My body and take me away
To find a love inside the gray
I know you
You want to…?
I know this -
You feel it too
I want you
I need you
I want you
I feel you
Hmm…
They say the color’s returned here
Like the crimson in your dress dear
Our sandy eyes start to fall through
Our hands into our dress shoes
I know you
You want to…?
I know this -
You feel it too
I want you
I need you
I want you
I feel you
Hmm…
I know you
You want to…?
I know this -
You feel it too
I want you
I need you
I want you
I feel you
Every time I wanna see the sky I see your eyes
I want you
I need you
I want you
I feel you
