It took a little time to look around me It took a little time to figure things out It took a little time to realise my own surroundings It took a little boy to just scream and shout It took a little time to justify me And stop this talking to myself I took a little time to wonder why I criticize me Maybe I'm too busy tryin' to be somebody else I got a gun to my head, and I'm nearly dead, But we've got the time to start again It took a little time to put my guard down I took a little time to wonder why It took a little time to know who's work was going wrong here I didn't know if I should laugh or I should cry I took a little time to chip my shoulder And feed that monkey on my back Maybe it's me just gettin' older I feel like where I'm goin' there just ain't no turning back I got a gun to my head, and I'm nearly dead, But we've got the time to start again I think about walls I've had to cross The roads I've shared, the friends I've lost along the way I think I'll be jumping out today I got a gun to my head, and I'm nearly dead, But we've got the time to start again ...to start again We've got the time We've got the time We've got the time We've got the time So don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down
