[Chorus]

Take some time, try to cleanse you from my mind

It takes time, darling, time

Time teach a caged bird how to fly

It takes time, darling, time

[Verse 1]

In the starlight so blue remember evenings so yellow

I no longer dream of you, but your shirt's still in my dresser

Been to the studio, I've been walking through the jungle

When the wind cries out for you, and it sound like synth and cello

Kinda feels like birds in cages

When you break the locks

I can leave from where you want me here, but I'd rather not

So I drop the top and I float on

Stereo blonde like Gohan

Every damn day I drove home

Thinking ‘bout you till the road's gone

[Chorus]

Take some time, try to cleanse you from my mind

It takes time, darling, time

Time teach a caged bird how to fly

It takes time, darling, time

Take some time, try to cleanse you from my mind

It takes time, darling, time

Time teach a caged bird how to fly

It takes time, darling, time

[Verse 2]

And as for my feelings for you, envelope them in titanium

They can't get through, can't bother me with trivialities

And if they ever flew, they won't go anywhere

Those metal walls, yeah, they bite back

And I'd watch as feathers tear

'Cause she can play a nigga like it was game of chess

I should know

And I was walking on a wire thinking I was blessed

Till it broke

I know they say the grass is greener on the other side

That's a lie

Forget the “let's be friends,” girl, I'ma need to take some time

[Chorus]

Take some time try to cleanse you from my mind

It takes time, darling, time

Time teach a caged bird how to fly

It takes time, darling, time

Take some time try to cleanse you from my mind

It takes time, it takes time

Time, every caged bird wanna fly

It takes time, darling, time

[Outro]

Wait on me, wait on me, wait on me

I'ma have to wait on me, wait on me, wait on me

Got a lot of weight on me, weight on me, weight on me

I'ma have to wait on me, wait on me, wait on me
