How do you say to slow down How can you stop and yell it out When the carousel is moving so fast How can you stop a moving train Pause the stars to watch again 'Cause you missed them tonight I'll take your time if you take these rhymes And hold them in your heart forever 'Cause I only want what you want And I only have what's yours to give And if I must take the long way home I need you to walk with me With me Given each day is a battlefield Here I stand with my sword and shield Waiting for your love to come home And I will fight for your every word From years of fighting for me first For me first I'll take your time if you take these rhymes And hold them in your heart forever, forever I'll take your time if you take these rhymes And hold them in your heart forever 'Cause I only want what you want And I only have what's yours to give If I must take the long way home I need you to walk with me I've travelled far Is it far enough For you and I to know The more I want the less you take away If you've ever lost Then you've never loved So I'll keep on walking Keep walking until the end I only want what you want And I only have what's yours to give If I must take the long way home I need you to walk with me And if I must take the long way home I need you to walk with me I'll take your time if you take these rhymes And hold them in your heart forever
