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
