[Intro] Mm… yeah Lady Lynx… Johnny Muldoon on the keys.... [piano solo] Valentine midnight… take your time (take your time)

[Verse 1] We met on a runway, hearts stuck in delay (mm, stuck in delay) You said love’s just a gamble, I said “maybe someday” (maybe, maybe someday) Two strangers with baggage we never unpacked (never unzip it) Riding through the seasons with the city on our backs (on our backs, yeah) You swore you weren’t ready, I swore I was fine (I wasn’t fine, no) But every goodbye felt like crossing a line (felt like a crime, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus] We kept running circles, pretending we’re friends (why we pretend, why) But every little detour led me back again (right back to you, babe)

[Chorus] Take your time (take your ti‑i‑ime), love don’t need a finish line (no finish line, no) Two hearts out of rhythm learning how to align (line up, line up) Through the years (through the years), through the tears (through the tears), through the long midnight (long, long night) We were almost, almost, almost right (almost there, yeah) But somehow, baby, we made it in time (made it in ti‑i‑ime) Yeah somehow, baby, we made it in time (right on time, right on time)

[Verse 2] You loved all the wrong ones, I pushed mine away (pushed ’em away, yeah) We kept calling each other just to say we’re okay (are you okay, babe) City lights on the window, holidays alone (all alone, yeah) But your voice on the phone always felt like home (felt like ho‑ome) Slow‑burning fire, we were scared of the flame (so scared of the heat) But every “just checking in” sounded just the same (sounded like love, oh)

[Pre-Chorus] We kept running circles, pretending we’re friends (friends in denial) But every little detour led me back again (right back, right back)

[Chorus] Take your time (take your time, baby), love don’t need a finish line (no race, no race) Two hearts out of rhythm learning how to align (come align with me) Through the years (through the years), through the tears (through the tears), through the long midnight (that long night) We were almost, almost, almost right (almost right, yeah) But somehow, baby, we made it in time (made it in ti‑i‑ime) Yeah somehow, baby, we made it in time (right on time, oh)

[Bridge] When the countdown hit zero (three, two, one), I saw you there (I saw you there) All the almosts vanished in the New Year air (they disappeared, yeah) You said “I love you, I always have” (always, always) And the whole room froze like it knew our path (knew our path, mm) Confetti on your lashes, champagne on your lips (drip, drip) Every missed moment came rushing in quick (so quick, so quick)

[Breakdown Chorus] Take your time (take your ti‑i‑ime), love don’t need a finish line (don’t need a line, no) We were two lost rhythms finding how to align (find the beat, find the beat) Every year (every year), every fear (every fear), every wrong felt right (feels so right now) We were almost, almost, almost right (almost right, almost)

[Final Chorus] Take your time (take your time, baby), love don’t need a finish line (no finish line, no) Two hearts out of rhythm learning how to align (line up with meee) Every year (every year), every fear (let it go), every wrong felt right (feels so right tonight) We were almost, almost, almost right (almost right, yeah) But somehow, baby, we made it in time (made it in ti‑i‑ime) Yeah somehow, baby, we made it in time (right on time, right on time)

[Outro] Mm… take your time (take your time) Valentine midnight… we made it in time (made it in time)

I'll have what she's having...

Happy Valentine's Day
