Take All Your Time (Remember The Past?)

Say these words soft

Smoothe and cold

Make them easy

something to mold

Write me off

It's never your fault

That we give up

That we gave up



Kill time

Tick goes the clock

Have faith

And never let up

Say it again

It's never your fault

That we give up

That we gave up



All the words

In my head

Swirl all around

In such a constant state of

Breath

Breathe it all in

Feel me in your presence

Take it all in

Then blow it out

Slowly but surely

I know this will work

Just give it time

Just give it time

Take all your time



Send me memories

On letters written with ink

Smear all the words

Make them run together

It's the loud silence that we hear

All the yelling all these years



Hold back the tears

I know you don't cry

Neither do I

Neither do I

Swallow these words

Hold them all in

I won't let you die

I won't let you die



All the words

In my head

Swirl all around

In such a constant state of

Breath

Breathe it all in

Feel me in your presence

Take it all in

Then blow it out

Slowly but surely

I know this will work

Just give it time

Just give it time

Take all your time



I won't let you die (I want to save you, I want to save you)

Let it all out

Now you may cry (I want to save you, I want to save you)



Remember the past

Past memories

Forgotten facts

That mean a lot to me

Time that we spent

Watching a parade

Walking in parks

Holding our hands

Loving our times

Time that we had

Kids, we were young

We were never sad

Driving around

Going on rides

Eating nice food

Remember our plans?



You and I,

We were to get married

Have kids and have a life

Live on a ranch

Have a few horses

You were a doctor

I was a rocker

We had so much fun

Talking on the phone

Calls until 2 AM



Minnesota came

And then we fell apart

All that I'm asking

Is where do we start

Making our plans

Having some fun

Being together

Without all of the bullshit

I want to know

Where did we go?

How did we lose track

Of all our time?



All the words

In my head

Swirl all around

In such a constant state of

Breath

Breathe it all in

Feel me in your presence

Take it all in

Then blow it out

Slowly but surely

I know this will work

Just give it time

Just give it time

Take all your time

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This one goes rather deep.  Not many people would know what I am talking about in this one...but all you have to know is that it is about Rachael. (That should sum it up nicely)
