In southern Mexico, you forget just why you came
You run to northern California but you forget to change your name
But when I get to New York City, it won't matter none of this will change
Ten thousand miles and running, all these songs will remain the same

Just take your time, your life is just beginning
You are all grown up, wanting for the other side
Just take you time, I will always be there waiting
On the other side, wanting for the other side

Inside my worried mind, I wonder why I'm here
And all the questions that I ask myself, the answers are never clear
I can't believe that it's all over, I don't know where to begin
I've got to outrun these shadows, feel the sun on my face again, my friend

Just take your time, your life is just beginning
You are all grown up, wanting for the other side
Just take you time, I will always be there waiting
On the other side, wanting for the other side

I thought I knew them, I thought they were my friends
Well I must be crazy, it never ends, it never ends
No, we are not the same, we are so far apart
And the distance felt between us is in the heart, you know it's true

Just take your time, your life is just beginning
You are all grown up, wanting for the other side
Just take you time, I will always be there waiting
On the other side, wanting for the other side

Just take your time, just take your time
Just take your time
