How do you say to slow down
How can you stop and yell it out
When the carousel is moving so fast

How can you stop a moving train
Pause the stars to watch again
'Cause you missed them tonight


I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever


'Cause I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give

And if I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me
With me


Given each day is a battlefield
Here I stand with my sword and shield

Waiting for your love to come home
And I will fight for your every word
From years of fighting for me first

For me first

I'll take your time if you take these rhymes

And hold them in your heart forever, forever
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever


'Cause I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give

If I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me


I've travelled far
Is it far enough
For you and I to know

The more I want the less you take away
If you've ever lost
Then you've never loved

So I'll keep on walking,
Keep walking until the end


I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give
If I must take the long way home

I need you to walk with me
And if I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me


I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever
