Otis Read - Give It Some Time Lyrics

First you want to stay, then you want to go,
now you're gonna say "I told you so"
Well, come on, take a break and cast your net,
free from the burden of more regret

I just want you to slow down and rest your eyes
Come on, we'll drop those plans and improvise
We'll step aside from it all, things'll fall in line
give it some time, give it some time . . .

You know you're all wound up and that's a crime
You're acting tongue-tied and doing pantomime
First you leap ahead, then you fall behind
in your search for answers you might never find

I've grown tired of argument, let's compromise
There might be solutions we don't yet realize
We'll step aside from it all . . . things'll fall in line
give it some time, give it some time . . .

Come on take a risk and feel the thrill
You're doing too much thinking and thoughts can kill
Yeah, take a chance and leave a mark
before the sun goes down and the sky grows dark

Let's curl up by the fire and watch the embers die
The whisper of the wind become our lullabye
We'll step aside from it all, things'll fall in line
give it some time, give it some time . .
