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
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
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
