You're working overtime
  You know it doesn't do you no good
  You're slaving away for things that you need
  Roof is falling down on 'round your head
  You're backed against the wall
  Living your whole damn life
  At someone else's beck and call
  On the edge of the knife
  Aaaaahhhh, come on
  
  Come in, you're bruised and battered
  You need some time to heal
  Step out of the bullet train
  Set yourself down, I know how you feel
  Slow down your racing pulses
  Overthrow all your of fears
  For an hour, be a simple man
  And I'll be a good set of ears
  Aaaaahhhh, come on
  
  CHORUS
  Takin' the Time to look
  Takin' the Time to feel
  When you rewrite your open book
  Allow the scars to heal
  Takin' the Time to look
  Takin' the Time to feel
  Will you rewrite your open book
  Allow the scars to heal
  
  You're movin' heaven and earth
  And straining every nerve
  Always working double time
  Burn the midnight oil down to your last reserve
  You can't go your stoney road anymore
  Wind your smoked glass windows down
  If you can't handle opening the door
  Aaaaaahhhh, come on
  
  CHORUS
  Takin' the Time to look
  Takin' the Time to feel
  Will you rewrite your open book
  Allow the scars to heal
  Takin' the Time to look
  Takin' the Time to feel
  Will you rewrite your open book
  Allow the scars to heal
