Take it if you will
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just some flowers
My family just moved in around the corner
Will you be my friend
I touched her on the shoulder
She was fourteen I was barely older

Take it if you will
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just a key
My parents are going away for the weekend
Will you stay with me
It felt my body trembling
High school days were nearly at an end then

Chorus:
Time was a blur of emotions
Spinning so fast
And time was a rocket engine
With no end and no beginning
But all time stopped when she said "yes"

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it - you know I'll never ask again
It's just a ring
At best it's just a symbol of everything
If I can share my life with you
Standing naked in my fear
I could not face her
Then I broke down - my arms embraced her

Repeat Chorus

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it
That's how our lives began
