Takin' The Time Lyrics - Howard Jones

You're working overtime 

You know it doesn't do you no good 

You're slaving away for things that you need 

Roof is falling down on 'round your head 

You're backed against the wall 

Living your whole damn life 

At someone else's beck and call 

On the edge of the (night/knife) 

Aaaaahhhh, come on 

Come in, you're bruised and battered 

You need some time to heal 

Step out of the bullet train 

Set yourself down, I know how you feel 

Slow down your racing pulses 

Overthrow all your of fears 

For an hour, be a simple man 

And I'll be a good set of ears 

Aaaaahhhh, come on

Chorus 

Takin' the time to look 

Takin' the time to feel 

(when/will) you rewrite your open book 

Allow the scars to heal 

Takin' the time to look 

Takin' the time to feel 

(when/will) you rewrite your open book 

Allow the scars to heal 

You're movin' heaven and earth 

And straining every nerve 

Always working double time 

Burn the midnight oil down to the last (resort/resolve/result) 

You can't go your (snowy/showy room) anymore 

Wind your smoked glass windows down 

If you can't handle opening the door 

Aaaaaahhhh, come on

Chorus 

Takin' the time to look 

Takin' the time to feel 

(when/will) you rewrite your open book 

Allow the scars to heal 

Takin' the time to look 

Takin' the time to feel 

(when/will) you rewrite your open book 

Allow the scars to heal
