LYRICS
Take Your Time
Take your time coming home.
Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill up with smoke.
Forgive everyone.
She is here and now she is gone
We had plans, we can't help but make love.
It's a beautiful thing when you love somebody,
and I love somebody.
Yeah I love somebody.
Take your time coming home.
Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill up with smoke.
Forgive everyone.
I don't think I'd been misled,
it was a rocknroll band,
I'm still standing,
Take your time coming home.
See, of everyone who called,
Very few said "We believe in you."
The overwhelming choice said
I'm just a boy inside a voice
and if that's true, is it true, if it's true,
then what the fuck have I been doing the last six years?
How did I end up here?
How did I find love and conquer all of my fears?
See, I made it out.
Out from under the sun.
And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.
Now I'm not scared
of a sound
or the states
or the stages.
I'm not scared.
I've got friends,
took my call,
came courageous.
Now I feel like I am home.
One more thing, I keep having this dream
where I'm standing on a mountain
Looking out, on the street
I can hear kids in low-income housing singing
"We're through with causing a scene"
I don't know what it means
But I too, I'm through with causing a scene.
She is here and now I think she's ready to go.
For every love that's lost I heard a new one comes.
So come on with me, sing along with me,
Let the wind catch your feet.
If you love somebody,
you'd better let them know.
Take your time coming home.

Honestly, why isn't this one of their most popular songs? There's so much emotion in it.

[@tinaliu5055]

I love that their songs aren't as repetitive as the ones on the radio today. it's very lovely

[@jasminemcgarigle8834]

"But I too, am through with causing a scene." ~Nate Ruess I get chills every time I hear that lyric.

[@drakejohnson2607]

From the closing track of Some Nights, Out On The Town: "Now I'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile."

[@serentiantoff6488]

The First Single - The Format “So let’s cause a scene”

[@michaelfinn1587]

Tie the rope, tap the break, cause a scene Your New Name - The Format

[@genesisaltheajorge8698]

the lyrics brings a lump to my throat and tears in my eyes. i don't know i feel happy at the same time relate to this song. Nate, thank you so much for sharing your talent. Please do come back.

[@lorraineevemy5429]

Can barely believe Aim & Ignite is nearly 10 years old . Still one of my very favourite albums . I so miss not having any new material from Nate Ruess. Just adore his voice . Take your time ......but I hope not too long Nate !!!!!

Not only do I love this song, but these comments under are possibly the best comments I've seen on here! So happy to see so many people appreciating good music and his amazing band!

[@beebread2079]

Him doing a lil screamo in the last verse is the cutest thing

[@vintagegamer7027]

I think that was something he did a lot in his first band

[@JL-wt9ib]

I can't imagine of any other person singing this song, or any other fun. songs than Nate Ruess.. That voice... Something magical. ❤

[@spktr117]

Juna Lypenko agreed majorly

[@souldog6]

I mean.... queen?

[@dylansheridan1065]

This is probably the most emotional song I've ever listened to, I love the middle so much,It can mean something different to everyone, this song may have saved my life. The middle seems abit like a fuck you to his past band (from "for everyone who called" to "low Income house" part) it's him looking at his past and those who didn't believe in him, and the lyric "see I made it out,out from under the sun, and the truth is I feel better because I've forgiven everyone" is a blantant reference to his old band the formats song "on your porch" as it says "now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun, even ifs it's alone" just love this song!

[@Joliver42]

listen to the gambler

[@DylanNes]

fun. at the point of recording this song was probably less well-known and succeesful than The Format.

[@YOassron]

Listen to Light a Roman Candle with Me.

[@georgezhou1705]

This song is pretty emotional and I love it, but the song that strikes me emotionally the most (also made by fun!), is the gambler.

[@rightonehman]

such a good song thanks for your comment I'm checking out all his songs so much i relate to and make my own Nate has great lyrics and the man can sing such talent

[@imuncertain9001]

This feels like the grand finale song for a musical and im loving every bit of it

[@ngoduytran9106]

Today, I suddenly hum "take your time, coming home". And now here I am listening to the song again.

[@Sims3loserTheAwkwardSimmer]

"its a beautiful thing when you love somebody, and I love somebody" My favourite part!

[@seagal4111]

Im 54 yrs. of age but i liked this group and song the very first time i heard as musician/songwriter i like all' the indie artists that are not quite noticed by the general commercialism stuff that the Radio plays im one of those artists i like many people dont even know are here such as THE LIKE if anyone knows who i am speaking of please reply ha.

I listened to this song at age 6 or 7. Then i forgot about it but 7 years later, I finally get to listen to this song again. Thank you fun. for the memories.

[@sydneyford709]

I miss listening to you guys. This song in particular always lifts my spirits from whatever darkness it was in.

Really reflective.

[@usernameusersurname7223]

No song could possibly be near as perfect as this song

[@BrighterChimp]

For every love that's lost, I heard a new one comes.

[@OasissisaO]

This song is the perfect ending to the album. Like the end of any well-told story it ties everything together and gives you perspective on all that has transpired. I used to think that "Dog Problems" was perfect...but how can it be perfect if this is so much better?

[@tessamarie3106]

Oh Lord, thank you for creating this heavenly voice

[@missmackify99]

Who cares how many hits it has, it doesn't stop you from listening to it! Favourite fun song :D

[@mehmetsaitarslan115]

[@swahbanana]

I love how so many people are getting into fun. I've been a huge fan for a long, long time, and I'm so happy they are finally receiving the recognition they deserve.

This came out 12 years ago holy shit it still holds up

[@duffyroxmysoxoff]

i dont know what i like better.....the gorgeous art piece on the cover, or the song?

[@thelovelyarmadillos]

That line literally changed my life, the whole song did, but especially that line.

[@Shawskee]

By far best Fun. song to date, in my opinion. I kinda wish this song got the radio play (despite it's length), rather than We Are Young. More people need to hear this incredible song.

[@jaydensimpson823]

November Rain gets played on the radio and that’s nine minutes, so I don’t see the problem with a seven minute song

[@disanator]

I just recently discovered Fun with We Are Young. Decided to check out rest of their songs. Sounds good so far. His voice sounds amazing

[@ShaneAlexanderArt]

I love the subtle reference to the Format's "The First Single" when he says he is through causing a scene.

[@KaijaSchmauss]

I agree. And We are Young was the song that made me fall in love with Fun to begin with. This band in general is amazing.

[@businesschic24]

This song is just utterly amazing. I mean, they are really getting down in this song, and I just want to dance all the time I hear it, but not the wimpy little dancing you see now a days. I just want to freaking lose it and flail my arms about and look like a maniac. It's beautiful and so is this band.

[@Shawskee]

I'd agree with that. It's a shame that only We Are Young made it to the radio. Then again, I've heard it so many times now, it's nearly driven me insane. Haha. But there's always us, Fun fans that get to enjoy all the great music they've released, and songs like this.

[@AceCreamPaylor]

I discovered fun through "all the pretty girls" nd loved their music since

[@1gnore_me.]

2:19 wish more pop music was intimate and honest like this

[@LunchboxHeroZ]

Every time I hear this song, I just can't help but feel this uplifting sense of awesome. Thanks Fun. your music is a wonderful gift to the world.

Dang. I hadn't really listened to the last couple tracks from this album much, but now I've fallen in love with this one.
