Song Description
We all struggle with wanting to get ahead or move forward too quickly. We rush through life and sometimes forget to live it. Many things simply take time, such as maturing and getting over a loss. It Takes as Long as It Takes is a reminder to be patient or these processes may take even longer.

Lyrics
When will I be there?
How long will it take?
I'm so impatient
I don't like to wait.
When will I grow up?
How long will it take?
I want to do things
I've got trouble to make.
So sit back, step down, relax
You're gonna get lost if you're going too fast
Put on the brakes
It takes as long as it takes.
When will my heart mend?
How long will it take?
I don't want to be broken
It doesn't feel safe.
When will it be over?
How long will it take?
It's never too soon
And it's always too late
So sit back, step down, relax
You're gonna get lost if you're going too fast
Put on the brakes
It takes as long as it takes.
I'm busy making more mistakes
I don't have the time at all
Keep moving
Spinning all my wheels around
I'm going nowhere but it's fast
I'm confusing the facts
I think it's time to relax
So sit back, step down, relax
You're gonna get lost if you're going too fast
Put on the brakes
It takes as long as it takes.
