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 the key
to unlock all the things you want us to be

Help 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, you

Call up the locksmith
tell 'em we need him quick
we got a million keys
none of 'em seem to fit
and while you're on the phone
call up the clocksmith
cause I could use some time
even the slightest bit

Help me open up, 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

I need you to understand

I'm thinking nows 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
