Give It Time Lyrics - Most Messed Up - Old 97's

when I saw you for the first time 

I thought I might be sick 

that combination of joy and compulsion 

and you were the reason for it 

and in the blink of an eyelid 

you were in my ride 

I was wasted thought you'd laugh when I kissed you 

though I guess it makes sense that you cried 

give it time give it time give it time 

it will break you 

from our house I heard voices so far away 

there's no difference between ropes and roses 

when you've got nothin' good to say 

and in the blink of an eyelid 

you become someone else 

I try to find you but you are on a island 

and I guess I have to tell myself 

give it time give it time give it time 

it will break you 

when I saw you for the last time 

I sweat right through my shirt 

I'm no professional heartbreak's just a pastime 

but that don't mean it don't hurt
