Just a girl with some lofty dreams
Wrote em’ down in 2014
I can still recreate the scene
Curtain down, as they stood to their feet
Wanted the stage
Wanted the lights
Wanted to climb
To the Hollywood sign
On top of the world
In the blink of an eye
But I had to give it time
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I had to give it time
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
New year, same girl, with the same dream
Still singing to the mirror in front of me
Bought a camera downtown real cheap
Meredith took a press shot for me
I whispered a prayer, said to the Lord
I won’t make a move til you open the door
I whispered a prayer, looked for a sign
But I had to give it time
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Yeah
I had to give it time
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
How do you wait when it’s all that you want
How do you stay when you’re ready to run
How do you know when it’s time to move on
Yeah I had to give it time
How do you wait when it’s all that you want
How do you stay when you’re ready to run
How do you know when it’s time to move on
Yeah
Lookin back you can see it all
In the moment it feels like a freefall
God never seems to color in a straight line
We have to give it time
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
We have to give it time
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
We have to give it time
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
We have to give it time
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Oh
How do you wait when it’s all that you want
How do you stay when you’re ready to run
How do you know when it’s time to move on
Yeah I had to give it time
How do you wait when it’s all that you want
How do you stay when you’re ready to run
How do you know when it’s time to move on
We have to give it time
