Crowded Time

Take a little time
Take a little time
Save a little time for me
If I promise I'll be fine
Will you wait a little while?
Will you save a little a time for me?
Take a little time
Take a little time
Save a little time for me
If I'm making up my mind
Are you missing all the signs?
Can you save a little time for me?

Where's the time go
I been flipping through the pages
With a blindfold
Looking at you through the window
With a mask on
On your shoulder as you tell me how your life goin
Oh lord
Tell me where the time goes
Now they thinking about switching up the time zones
Froze
Put this feeling in a bottle
Keep it locked away forever
I don't ever wanna let go
But I been moving too slow
Push away the people there to help, afraid to be close
And I know that you know
I hate that I prefer to keep this shit on the low
Feelings need protecting
Relations need amending
Imagine we could thrive and not get caught up intersecting
In the drama and the politics and karma
That be shadowing our moments like a cumulus or stratus

Take a little time
Save a little time
Take a little time for me
If I promise I'll be fine
Will you wait a little while?
Will you save a little a time for me?
Take a little time
Take a little time
Save a little time for me
I've been making up my mind
Are you missing all the signs?
Can you save a little time for me?

Where did the time go?
The flickering of a light show
Slips through your fingers
Never recaptured
Does the feeling linger?
Taking life slow
How did you take life slow?
How do you take life slow?

There's been times when all it takes
Is one recall of a fading memory
From times ago, long last
To present 'til it's past
I'm sick to my stomach
The idea that it was all for nothing
All for nothing
As I trace my fingers
Over distant memories
Caught in time
Even if they had been gone
that night
Cold hands
Exchanged for something colder
Few words across a crowded room
The frontier of helplessness
Just a little time?

Take a little time
Take a little time
Save a little time for me
If I promise I'll be fine
Will you wait a little while?
Will you save a little a time for me?
Take a little time
Take a little time
Save a little time for me
If I'm making up my mind
Are you missing all the signs?
Can you save a little time for me?
