it took one mess-up to shake his brain it took one breakup to start the rain then one more good song to stop the pain you can try runnin' but then you'll see you're not you without history so suck in fresh air just build a new time takes time to grow you say time's too slow there's one thing to know but there's much more to show it took one lifetime to right a wrong but took one hour to write this song oh one more lifetime seems too long so take your chances and don't look back make some messes and get off track 'cause there's just no reason to frown time takes time to grow you say time's too slow there's one thing to know but there's much more to show
