Take My Time

I don’t know where the night’s gonna take me yet
Probably end up somewhere I ain’t been before
I don’t mean to overthink it, but I couldn’t just sit still
And let the good times pass me by, no
Yeah, I know the city’s lights are calling my name
Everybody ‘round here chasing the same flame
But I’m not looking for a finish line right now
So I don’t wanna burn it out too fast
Don’t get me wrong
Heart’s beating steady, but the world’s spinning wild
It’s just a conversation with the open road
No rush, man, I’m wide awake
You don’t know my whole story, I don’t know yours
But I want to

I don’t wanna steal tomorrow
I don’t wanna change the plan
I don’t have to figure it all out
I just wanna take my time
I don’t wanna miss the small things
The late nights and the morning light
I don’t have to win it all tonight
I just wanna take my time
Take my time, yeah
Living this life, one beat at a time
Take my time

I don’t wanna chase every high that comes along
I don’t need to prove a thing to anyone
I don’t have to meet expectations or cross some line
I just wanna feel the wind and let it ride
We can talk about dreams or nothing at all
Laugh about the days when we thought we knew it all
Your eyes might be pulling me in, but I’m cool
‘Cause pressure ain’t my style, no
Don’t get me wrong
I’m feeling every second like it’s gold in my hands
It’s not about the destination, it’s the drive
No girl, I’m not running
You don’t owe me a thing, I don’t owe you
But I want to

I don’t wanna steal tomorrow
I don’t wanna change the plan
I don’t have to figure it all out
I just wanna take my time
I don’t wanna miss the small things
The late nights and the morning light
I don’t have to win it all tonight
I just wanna take my time
Take my time, yeah
Living this life, one beat at a time
Take my time

Yeah, the world’s in a hurry, but me?
I’m parked right here in the moment
Dubai, Chicago, Miami lights or a backroad somewhere
Doesn’t matter where we end up
As long as we don’t rush through it
‘Cause life’s too short to speed past the good parts

I don’t wanna steal tomorrow
I don’t wanna change the plan
I don’t have to make it perfect, no
I just wanna take my time
I don’t wanna miss the feeling
Of being alive under these stars
I don’t have to have it all figured out
I just wanna take my time
Take my time…
Living this life, slow and easy
Yeah, I’m taking my time
