window gazing, outside in. 

at some elusive american myth 

i know you want to believe they're at peace 

safe from life's uncertainties 

but would they agree? 


(chorus) 

take your time, make your mind up and 

tell the world to wait 

take your time, live your life 

you're the one that has to live it anyway 


after the sound, the fury, the noise 

has stifled the simplest of joys 

the clock keeps spinning on and on 

and once it's gone, the time is gone. 

the time is gone... 


(middle) 

all you've built and done 

is just a fraction of the you we love...
