Take your time
Take it slow
You've got to hold on to what you know
Breathe in now and let it go
If you live too fast you'll find
Your whole life has passed you by
And my whole world is upside down
I need to get my feet back on the ground

This the way we've learned to operate
Whoa, whoa
So take your time
And don't hesitate
To let it all out
All we need is a little direction
A pinch of affection
Goes a long way in this life
So take your time
And take it slow
We can make it out alive

We get built up
Like crashing tidal waves
Against the shore line
We're not safe
But we'll be alright
And when we're lost
We're sure we'll be found
We're making our back way around
Now we're home-bound
Don't say that this is the end
(We'll make it)
Just pray that it all depends
(On how we take it)

This the way we've learned to operate
Whoa, whoa
So take your time
And don't hesitate
To let it all out
All we need is a little direction
A pinch of affection
Goes a long way in this line
So take your time
And take it slow
We can make it out alive

Alive
