Lyrics
You offered me a raincheck for tonight
Like I've got something else to do.
But I'd rather stay and make you feel alright.
Spend my time here with you.
Ooh, I'll clear the smoke that filled the air
But the fire between us is not to blame cause it's still there
We already cried for those who lied and went nowhere
But I can't leave you behind.
Cause I feel for you. You're all that's on my mind.
Give me time.
Days ago was like a mushroom cloud above
White flecks of ash floating by.
But in the morning you just filled my house with love.
What a woman. Make me sigh.
Ooh, you gave me reason to stay here
To wake up and feel you as you whispered in my ear.
We already cried for those who left us to our tears.
But I can't leave you behind.
Cause my love for you is all that I can find.
Give me time.
Soon the rains will come. The first leaf reappears.
Many more will come this way.
Days go by, the months they roll on through the years.
You're more beautiful each day.
Ooh, all of the storms have cleared the air.
But the fire between us keeps me warm cause it's still there.
We already left so much behind. It's everywhere.
But I can't leave you all alone.
All I have for you is wasted on my own.
And I want you like it's all I've ever known.
Give me time. Give me time.
