I know its not your fault, but I'm a locked door
|
Anytime I'm a mess by someone before
|
And I wish that I, I could find a key
|
To unlock all the things you want us to be
|
Let me open up and start again,
|
But there's a safe around my heart
|
I don't know how to let you in,
|
That's what keeps us apart
|
And that's why I need time.
|
I said I need you,
|
I need you to understand, you, you, you [x2]
|
Call up the locksmith,
|
Tell him we need him quick
|
We've got a million keys,
|
None of them seem to fit
|
While you're on the phone,
|
call up the clocksmith,
|
Cuz I could use some time,
|
Even the slightest bit
|
Let me open up and start again,
|
And break this safe around my heart
|
I don't know how to let you in,
|
That's what keeps us apart
|
And that's why I need time
|
I said I need you
|
I need you to understand, you, you, you [x2]
|
I'm thinking now's the time,
|
Maybe its time to go, if I gave you my heart, be gentle,
|
I'm tired of laying low, lets give the world a show
|
And when you know, you know,
|
And when you know, you know, you know
|
And when you know, you know, you know, you know
|
And that's why I need time
|
I said I need you,
|
I need you to understand, you, you, you [x2]
|
I need you to understand [x4]
|
I need you [x3]
|
I need you, you, you
|
