You’ve Got Time Lyrics
[Verse]
The animals, the animals
Trap, trap, trap 'til the cage is full
The cage is full, stay awake
In the dark, count mistakes
The light was off but now it's on
Searching underground for a bit of sun
The sun is out, the day is new
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you
[Chorus]
And you've got time
And you've got time
[Bridge]
Think of all the roads
Think of all their crossings
Taking steps is easy
Standing still is hard
Remember all their faces
Remember all their voices
Everything is different
The second time around
[Verse]
The animals, the animals
Trap, trap, trap 'til the cage is full
The cage is full, stay awake
In the dark, count mistakes
The light was off but now it's on
Searching underground for a bit of sun
The sun is out, the day is new
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you
[Chorus]
And you've got time
And you've got time
And you've got time
