Lyrics It Takes Time - 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
Oh, this is gonna take time
How am I gonna make time
Everything looks different, colors all seem strange
And light comes down in shafts, here underneath the waves
And everything is in its place and the children are asleep
But the water’s getting deeper, and I can’t feel my feet
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
I can’t feel my feet
I can’t feel my feet
