And you can clean around the wound
but if you want it to heal
it just takes time

and you can go up to the moon
but if you want something to change
you gotta change your life
and take your time

it just takes time
it just takes time
it just takes time
hard work and your time

and the sun will leave your room
and leave you to the night
and that's alright

because before the [bad word] there's a certain calm
and then there's light

it just takes time
it just takes time
a little [bad word] and your time
you can change your life
it just takes time
a little [bad word] and your time

and i can sit and talk
'couse i was just like you
so arrogant and brave
impetuous and blue

but [bad word] me as a friend
and i'll do all that i can do
and i'd do anything for you
because i want to see you through

it just takes time
hard work and your time
you can change your life

it just takes time
a little [bad word] and your time
a little [bad word] and your time
a little [bad word] and your time
it just takes time
it just takes time
hard work and your time
