Need You (album version) Lyrics

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
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
and break this safe around my heart
and that's why i need time
i said i need you
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
i need you to understand
i need you, i need you
i need you, you, you
