For The Taking Lyrics by From First to Last

Aesthetic

2003

[Intro]
I've got the world crashing down
Down around my feet
I've got the world crashing down
Down around my feet
[Chorus]
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
[Verse 1]
Before you take me home
There's just a few things I wanted you to know
Take a deep breath, it's been an hour
And we've been walking for a million miles tonight
[Verse 2]
Don't fight the things I know you want to say to me
So please, don't make it harder than it has to be
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Don't make it harder than it has to be
[Chorus]
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
(Around my feet, come crashing down again)
[Verse 3]
Before you take me home
Please don't tell me what I don't wanna know
Wipe your eyes dry, you'll see clearer
The end of this is coming close to us, don't rush
[Verse 4]
I've heard that line a million times from you
And it's true, the midnight sky has another shade of blue
The midnight sky has another shade of blue
The midnight sky has another shade of...
[Bridge]
My heart is yours for the taking
My heart is yours... for the taking!
[Outro]
The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet
And the wish for your applause is taking over me
The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet
And the wish for your applause is taking over me
