Verse 1

Give a little, take a lot

Watch the right hand of the clock

Wish you could turn back, the story told But I can't change how, it all unfolds

Chorus 1

You want time, you need time You want time, you need time

Verse 2

A composition to your design

I used to think that you were divine A distant ripple, on burning sand Letting go was in the plan

Chorus 2

You want time, you need time You want time, you need time

Verse 3

Give a little, take a lot

Watch the right hand of the clock

Wish you could turn back, the story told But I can't change how, it all unfolds

Chorus 3

You want time, you need time You want time, you need time You need time, you need time You need time
