lyrics

If it was written in the sand I would tread lightly
but i didn't have a hand in this affair
so don't go placing all the blame upon my shoulders
In my mind I can confidently declare

If you would take me by the hand I might come easy
Back in old days you tried to fight me fair
But now you're playing the field or you're playing me for the fool
I know I should wash this man right out of my hair

Chorus
I was aware of it then
I was getting into darker waters
But all my common sense went flying out the door
So don't you waste my time
Giving me no directions
You huff and puff blow hard enough
but the walls
the walls aren't gonna fall

Verse
You're asking for sparks, but better get ready for the lightning
You wanted rain but I bet you're not expecting the hurricane
I see you laying low, letting you think you're King
With your golden throne and diamond rings
spreading your loving ways over everything

Chorus
I was aware of it then
I was getting into darker waters
But all my common sense went flying out the door
So don't you waste my time
Giving me no directions
You huff and puff blow hard enough
but the walls
the walls aren't gonna fall

No time for what you know
No time to take this slow
You want highs you get the lows
But take it or leave it

No time for what you know
No time to let things grow
Love me or let me go
But take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
