And inside, I'm a mess by someone before
And I wish that I, I could find a key
To unlock all the things that 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,
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 (x2)
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, lets give the world a show
And when you know, you know, (Ohhh)
And when you know, you know, you know(Ohhh)
And when you know, you know, you know, you know (Ohhh)
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
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 that 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, 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 (x2) 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, lets give the world a show And when you know, you know, (Ohhh) And when you know, you know, you know(Ohhh) And when you know, you know, you know, you know (Ohhh) 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 Explain Request ×
