I know it's not your fault but I'm a locked door. any time 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. [BRIDGE]. 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. [CHORUS]. 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. 'cause I could use some time even the slightest bit. [BRIDGE]. 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. [CHORUS]. 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 give 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. [CHORUS]. 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). you you you
