Lyrics
Takes Me A While
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm the man, the man that wants it all
I'm not that original
Better men than me have tried and failed
Others wait around for miracles
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there...
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
Broken loser in a high school hall (It takes me awhile)
I never seem to have the wherewithal
My tongue is tied, my eyes locked up in jail (It takes me awhile)
Busting out just like a wrecking ball
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there...
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there...
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there...
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
I got nothing in the race
Where everybody's just saving face
So tell me how long 'til they reach a higher place
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there...
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there...
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there...
