Belle and Sebastian
Give a Little Time
[Verse 1]
Think about the time, these are the best of days
You hold the world in the palm of your hand
You've got one, two, three, four, who needs more?
An army at your command
[Chorus 1]
Suddenly, you don't belong (Suddenly, you don't belong)
And if the others treat you wrong (And if the others treat you wrong)
Draw closer, try to make the most of
You don't have the time to waste time
[Verse 2]
Once upon a time, you had the best of friends
You were alive in each other's minds
Read a likeness in your words
Are you ever going to send that letter you find?
[Chorus 2]
You never say "I told you so" (You never say "I told you so")
You never tell me how you know (Never tell me how you know)
Come closer, try to make the most of
You don't have the time to waste time
[Bridge]
Destroy your correspondence
You read it back, it's nonsense
Old letters, feed them to the shredder
You can let the past be silent
[Outro]
Speculate, accumulate
Embrace the love, erase the hate
Move closer, try to make the most of
Give a little time to make time
Give a little time to make time
Give a little time
Give a little time to make time
