[Verse 1]
I once knew a boy, who lived among the stars
He loved to sing on Saturn’s rings
And spent his nights on Mars
He asked me for some time to talk
I said I have to go
Without a word, I passed him by
He said, “I want you to know, you should

[Chorus]
Take your time
There’s no need to hurry, no need to worry, at all
Take your time
There’s no need to hurry, no need to worry, at all”

[Verse 2]
His stories brought me love
And longing for his home
My curiosity reflected in his clouded dome
He took me on a trip
Through words of spoken rhyme
I asked him how he knew this and he said “it comes with time, so please

[Chorus]
Take your time
There’s no need to hurry, no need to worry, at all
Take your time
There’s no need to hurry, no need to worry, at all”

[Verse 3]
The day he left my town
He told me “I’ll be back one day
Please promise me you won’t forget
And I will be okay.”
He landed in my driveway
He said to come along
I hopped into his rocket
And he started to sing a song, it went like

[Bridge]
Whoa, whoa
I think it’s time for me to change
So when the stars come out to play
I don’t want to tell you what you know
You have one world, so never let it go
Do you hear me? Am I finally getting through?
'Cause I want you to
Feel the X-Rays, from the burning balls of gas
Time is a strange thing, don’t let it leave too fast

[Verse 4]
The little boy beamed up into the sky
I stood, alone, and watched him disappear into the night
The air was brisk and chilly, sending shivers down my spine
But I had seconds left to fill, so I took my time
