I know it`s not your fault, but I`m a locked door
Anytime 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,
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)
Call up the locksmith,
Tell him we need him quick
We`ve got a million keys,
None of them seem to fit
While your 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,
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 (x2)
I need you to understand (x3)
I need you (x3)
I need you, you, you.

It's in your eyes, a colour fade out,
Looks like a new transition.
The starting up and shaking your ground,
Turning your head to see a new day calling.
Does it feel like a head to lean on?
A snapshot from where you were born.
I'm looking for your hand in the rough,
You're caught in the wire...
Well I'll lift you out.
Leading on the action,
Caught out of cell phones rays.
Bleeding on the sofa,
Staring at the waistline.
He's coming and she knows it,
Even though she knows why.
Footsteps in the hallway,
Girl you haven't got time.
You gotta get out,
Go far away.
You gotta get out,
Go far away.
Darkness in the bedroom,
Maybe she is resting up?
Maybe she was out late,
Just come back from the club.
I can't hear her breathing,
Something doesn't seem right.
Killer in the hallway,
We're living on a set time.
We gotta get out,
Go far away.
We gotta get out,
Go far away.
