Lyrics Glen Phillips

Glen Phillips

It Takes Time

The water's getting deeper and I can't feel my feet

I keep on bailing buckets but it flows right back to me

And everything is put away, the children are asleep

But the water's getting deeper

And I can't feel my feet

How am I gonna make time

This is gonna take time

Everything seems different, colors all looks strange

Light comes down in shafts here underneath the waves

Everything is in its place and the children are asleep

But the water's getting deeper

And I can't feel my feet

How am I gonna make time

This is gonna take time

I am provider, but providence has been swayed

And by design nothing is ever the same

I thought that time had only one way to go

I learned how to swim, but not to breathe underwater

How am I gonna make time

Oh, this is gonna take time

How am I gonna make time

I can't feel my feet
