Takes Me a While Bonus Tracks

I'm the man, the man that wants it all
I'm not that original
Better men than me have tried and failed
Others wait around for miracles

It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there
It takes me a while
It takes me a while

Broken loser in a high school hall
(It takes me awhile)
I never seem to have the wherewithal
My tongue is tied, my eyes locked up in jail
(It takes me awhile)
Busting out just like a wrecking ball

It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there
It takes me a while
It takes me a while

I got nothing in the race
Where everybody's just saving face
So tell me how long 'til they reach a higher place

It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there
