For The Taking

[Intro]

I've got the world crashing down

Down around my feet

I've got the world crashing down

Down around my feet

[Chorus]

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

[Verse 1]

Before you take me home

There's just a few things I wanted you to know

Take a deep breath, it's been an hour

And we've been walking for a million miles tonight

[Verse 2]

Don't fight the things I know you want to say to me

So please, don't make it harder than it has to be

Don't make it harder than it has to be

Don't make it harder than it has to be

[Chorus]

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

Time is only temporary, this will not last forever

(Around my feet, come crashing down again)

[Verse 3]

Before you take me home

Please don't tell me what I don't wanna know

Wipe your eyes dry, you'll see clearer

The end of this is coming close to us, don't rush

[Verse 4]

I've heard that line a million times from you

And it's true, the midnight sky has another shade of blue

The midnight sky has another shade of blue

The midnight sky has another shade of...

[Bridge]

My heart is yours for the taking

My heart is yours... for the taking!

[Outro]

The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet

And the wish for your applause is taking over me

The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet

And the wish for your applause is taking over me
