Take some time
Try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time, teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time
In the starlight so blue
Remember evenings so yellow
I no longer dream of you
But your shirt's still in my dresser
Been to the studio
I've been walking through the jungle
When the wind cries out for you
And it sound like synth and cello
Kind of feels like birds in cages
When you break the locks
I can leave from where you want me here
But I'd rather not
So I drop the top and I float on
Stereo blowin' like Gohan
Every damn day I drove home
Thinkin' 'bout you 'til the road's gone
Take some time
Try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time
Take some time
Try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time
And as for my feelings for you
Envelope them in titanium and
They can't get through
Can't bother me with trivialities
And if they ever flew
They won't go anywhere
Those metal walls, yeah, they bite back
And I'd watch as feathers tear
'Cause she can play a nigga like it was game of chess
I should know
And I was walking on a wire, thinkin' I was blessed
'Til it broke
I know they say the grass is greener on the other side
That's a lie
Forget the "let's be friends" girl
I'ma need to take some time
Take some time
Try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time, teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time
Take some time
Try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, it takes time
Time, every caged bird wanna fly
It takes time, darling, time
Wait on me, wait on me, wait on me
I'ma have to wait on me, wait on me, wait on me
Got a lot of weight on me, weight on me, weight on me
I'ma have to wait on me, wait on me, wait on me, mm
