You're working overtime
You know it doesn't do you no good
You're slaving away for things that you need

Roof is falling down on 'round your head
You're backed against the wall
Living your whole damn life

At someone else's beck and call
On the edge of the knife
Aaaaahhhh, come on


Come in, you're bruised and battered
You need some time to heal

Step out of the bullet train
Set yourself down, I know how you feel
Slow down your racing pulses

Overthrow all your of fears
For an hour, be a simple man
And I'll be a good set of ears

Aaaaahhhh, come on

CHORUS

Takin' the Time to look
Takin' the Time to feel
When you rewrite your open book

Allow the scars to heal
Takin' the Time to look
Takin' the Time to feel

Will you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal


You're movin' heaven and earth
And straining every nerve
Always working double time

Burn the midnight oil down to your last reserve
You can't go your stoney road anymore
Wind your smoked glass windows down

If you can't handle opening the door
Aaaaaahhhh, come on


CHORUS
Takin' the Time to look
Takin' the Time to feel

Will you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal
Takin' the Time to look

Takin' the Time to feel
Will you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal
