Lyrics
Take the long way, take your time
Not to worry, we’ll get there soon enough
There’s no hurry, no need to rush
Take the long way, take your time
It’s a long windin’ road, no direction to unfold
Many forks to behold, sometimes hot sometimes cold
What you want, what you will, spend a dollar for a thrill
Who you are drivin’ far, in your car, shootin’ star
Can’t keep up, racin’ days, in this maze, such a haze
Runnin’ dry, blink the eye, do not try, take a chance
Do a dance, find romance, take a stance, for the self
For the other’s on the shelf, way up hi in the sky
Taking numbers for the kill, can’t sit still, rushin’ round
Grindin’ ground, all for what, don’t ask why, take a chill
You will find peace of mind if you stop pushin time
Gettin’ pimped by the clock like the rest of the flock
Take the long way, take your time
Not to worry, we’ll get there soon enough
There’s no hurry, no need to rush
Take the long way, take your time
Many reasons been told, still we push and we pull
And we dash then we crash, movin fast tryin’ to last
Hit the snooze many times, wake up late wonder why
Was it dreams had me out? Not a chance I could rise
What’s the plan, here I stand on a train on the tracks of insane
Who’s to blame, no one else, just the self
Stand up tall, scale the wall, hear the call, you may fall
Get back up, brush it off, look around, hear the sounds
Of the space, opened up, made a choice to erupt
Without chase, movin slow, without waste, without stuck
You will find peace of mind if you stop pushin time
Getting pimped by the clock like the rest of the flock
Take the long way, take your time
Not to worry, we’ll get there soon enough
There’s no hurry, no need to rush
Take the long way, take your time
Eye’s open wide, yet sights compromised
Cries everywhere, but pretendin’ not to care
Just around the bend, horizon’s miraged by trends
Haste offends
Take the long way, take your time
Not to worry, we’ll get there soon enough
There’s no hurry, no need to rush
Take the long way, take your time
