Now she's thinking of the red soil 
And the mango trees
In her mind she's still splashing 'round 
Down on Cable Beach
And her eyes, they are as rich and faraway 
As the sunset there
She's not taking in a word I say
Well I might as well be talking to myself

Take it in, take it all in
Now is a time that 
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is a day that 
Is here for the living

So we step outside 
Into this Melbourne weather
With a shock it 
Brings her back to where she is
Now we've made this place our home
Surrounded by unknown
We're gonna stick it out 
Until it comes together

Take it in, take it all in
Now is a time that 
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is a day and 
It's here for the living

We're only living for a day 
To come or some days gone by
Never taking in each moment
Never knowing what you had 
Until it passed you by
And it'll pass you by

Take it in, take it all in
Now is a time that 
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is the day and 
It's here for the living

Take it all in
Now is a time that 
Will not come again
Take it in, take it all in
This is the day and 
It's here for the living
