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
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
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 the 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
I need you to understand
I'm thinkin' now's the time, maybe it's time to go
If I gave you my heart, be gentle
I'm tired of layin' low, let's give the world a show
And when you know, you know
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
And when you know, you know, you know
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
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
You, you, you
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
And I need you, I need you
And I need you, I need you
You, you
