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
