Take Time, My Friend

We make friends with all our closest ghosts and demons
We make enemies in people we don't know
We don't ask and we don't search for any answers
I think that is the definition of letting go

Used to be you'd have a kickback in the yard
People grow older each time that you don't pick up the phone
Do you wonder why it's lonely in the dark?
There's no answer, try again... the dial tone's on repeat

What's a name if you don't do anything to make it known
What's the use of an hourglass if nothing waits for you
Leaping on a chance can hurt or tease euphoria
Would you siphon your thoughts as payment for the rented space?

Lay your head upon the grass, immersion's easy
Losing time is something that we all go through
Taking notes about the history we're making
So one day when we're gone they'll know the truth

Remember when you'd fly around like Superman?
Taking yes for a no instead of playing your hand
In olden times the righteousness of your soul
Would be enough to go on but no more

But no more

Gently push upon the doorbell, hold your breath
The hallway takes you to a place only you can forget
Being lost in stars is like a flighting feeling
The same you get when you drive over the hill

Come with me, my friend, breathe easy
The journey back in time is painful but better going than never again
Don't forget to bring a camera for the pictures
To take with you when the journey's path has come to an end

It's alright take time, my friend
It's alright, be free, my friend
Take the time that you need, my friend
