She locks the door every time I walk out Even if I'm only taking out the trash Her need to feel secure used to drive me mad Now it's one of the things I've grown to love She swears she needs eight hours of sleeping But can't fall asleep until I am in bed An early bird moved in to the night owl's nest And it's one of the things I've grown to love So give it time, give it time You have to wait through the winter cold For the spring sunshine I'm the soil she's the seed Give it time and the flowers just grow on me Sometimes I felt like giving up forever When we're fighting in some little civil war But when we lay the weapons down We find we're closer than before And that's one of the things I've grown to love So give it time, give it time You have to wait through the winter cold For the spring sunshine I'm the soil she's the seed Give it time and the flowers just grow on me Don't throw in the towel Love is nothing like what I expected I had no idea it would expect so much of me But it's worth committing to And if you don't believe Just give it time, give it time You have to wait through the winter cold For the spring sunshine I'm the soil she's the seed Give it time and the flowers just grow on me
