Verse 1

You leave your jacket on the kitchen chair

Rain taps time against the window there

I warm the tea you forgot to drink

And watch the little circles in the sink

Chorus

Take your time, you don’t have to explain

We can let the afternoon drift away

If the world keeps asking where we’ve been

I’ll save you a quiet place again

Verse 2

Your old blue notebook by the telephone

Half a page of plans, half a page unknown

You tell me what you couldn’t say last night

I listen close and let the room feel right

Chorus

Take your time, you don’t have to explain
