World to Wait

window gazing, outside in.
at some elusive american myth
i know you want to believe they're at peace
safe from life's uncertainties
but would they agree?

chorus:
take your time, make your mind up and
tell the world to wait
take your time, live your life
you're the one that has to live it anyway

after the sound, the fury, the noise
has stifled the simplest of joys
the clock keeps spinning on and on
and once it's gone, the time is gone.
the time is gone...

(middle)
all you've built and done
is just a fraction of the you we love...
