Love Takes Time Lyrics

A couple hundreds coffees, a thousand sips of wine

It takes more than some roses, for roots to intertwine

To open up the doors to your interior design

Sneaking in the baggage, that we couldn't leave behind

When I meet somebody I sometimes wish that I

Could hold their whole life in my hands

We wouldn't have to share every breakup and goodbye

We'd already understand, and

You can't skip the small talk phase

Intimacy takes a couple hundred days

You can't speed-read a person's mind

Sex is a blast but the feelings don't last

Love takes time

Now you can make connections for a moment at the bar

And you can make a friend for twenty minutes in the car

But one day your hourglass will lose most of it's sand

And love might be the only thing you can't have on demand

When I meet somebody

I sometimes wish that I

Could download their point of view

But isn't that the point of this whole sentimental life

To listen and be listened to?

You can't skip the small talk phase

Intimacy takes a couple hundred days

You can't speed-read a person's mind

Sex is a blast but the feelings don't last

Love takes time

And love, it's hard to start again

The same old stories, the same old lines

But love, there's nothing else to do

Think what you'll find, if you take the time

You can't skip the small talk phase

Intimacy takes a couple hundred days

You can't speed-read a person's mind

Sex is a blast but the feelings don't last

Love takes, love takes, love takes time
