How do you say to slow down
How can you stop and yell it out
When the carousel is moving so fast
How can you stop a moving train
Pause the stars to watch again
'Cause you missed them tonight
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever
'Cause I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give
And if I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me
With me
Given each day is a battlefield
Here I stand with my sword and shield
Waiting for your love to come home
And I will fight for your every word
From years of fighting for me first
For me first
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever, forever
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever
'Cause I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give
If I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me
I've travelled far
Is it far enough
For you and I to know
The more I want the less you take away
If you've ever lost
Then you've never loved
So I'll keep on walking,
Keep walking until the end
I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give
If I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me
And if I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever
