| I know it’s not your fault, but I’m a locked door
|
| And inside, 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
|
| And 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
|
| I need you to understand, you, you, you
|
| 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
|
| 'Cause 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
|
| And 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
|
| I need you to understand
|
| I’m thinking now’s the time
|
| Maybe it’s time to go
|
| If I gave you my heart, be gentle
|
| I’m tired of laying low, let’s 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
|
| I need you to understand
|
| I need you to understand
|
| I need you to understand
|
| I need you to understand
|
| I need you
|
| I need you
|
| I need you, you, you |
