[Intro – Spoken, soft and intimate]
They say presence is temporary…
But some people leave fingerprints on your soul.
[Verse 1]
When you're in my presence, my presence isn't temporary
It lingers like a memory etched beneath your skin
Not a moment you can wash away in passing rain
I touch the places deeper than where the surface begins
Some people come and go like waves upon the shore
But I'm the tide shifting rhythms in your soul
You can leave the room but the feeling always stays
A quiet echo everywhere you go
[Pre-Chorus]
They left you chasing something shiny and new
Thought the grass was greener on the other side
But value ain't measured by attention in the room
It's measured by the ones who stay and ride
[Chorus]
Baby, let's take our time, what's the rush tonight
The world is wide and waiting just outside
Baby, let's take our time, slow down the ride
I wanna show you wonders you miss when you run by
Baby, let's take our time, breathe in the sky
Every star got a story in its light
Baby, let's take our time, just you and I
No race to the finish when the journey feels this right
Baby let's take our time.
(time.time.)
[Post-Chorus – breathy / seductive]
Slow it down for me
Let the night breathe
Ain't nobody rushing love tonight
Close the distance
Feel that heat
Every second with you feels right
Baby… take your time with me
No clocks, no gravity
Just your touch… and my energy
[Verse 2]
When the one who left you thought they found an upgrade
Funny how illusions sparkle for a while
Your upgrade just a rental for the night
While I was building futures mile after mile
When the vacation ends and the lights fade out
You'll see the difference between noise and worth
Real investments grow quiet under patient hands
While trends burn bright then disappear from earth
[Pre-Chorus]
Too many voices fighting for your attention
But value moves different in a loyal mind
If someone thinks they can take you from the ground
It's 'cause somewhere you left the gate unlined
[Chorus]
Baby, let's take our time, what's the rush tonight
The world is wide and waiting just outside
Baby, let's take our time, slow down the ride
I wanna show you wonders you miss when you run by
Baby, let's take our time, breathe in the sky
Every star got a story in its light
Baby, let's take our time, just you and I No race to the finish when the journey feels this right
Baby let's take our time…
(time.time.)
[Bridge]
They say I'm boring 'cause I move with calm control
But a lion never roars just to prove he's king
Noise is for restless hearts chasing validation
Confidence moves silent like the wind in spring
I don't change for the weather blowing through the scene
Seasons bend but I remain the same
They chase applause from every passing crowd
But I don't need a stage… I am the flame
[Final Chorus- repeat]
[Outro – spoken softly]
Rooftop talks…
City lights melting into the horizon
No clocks…
No finish lines…
Just you…
Taking your time with me.
