[Verse 1]

Here today, gone today

Hurry up and wait

I'm never there for you or me

Can't you read the story of our lives

Death to me and life for you

Something isn't right

And I need some space

To clear my head; to think about my life

[Pre-Chorus]

And I can't be alone

I just need some space

To clear my head to think about my life

With or without you

[Chorus]

We fight it out

We work it out

Give me some time to unwind

We fight it out

We work it out

Give me some time to unwind

[Verse 2]

I must confess

I'm falling apart

Breaking your heart

Crying with you on the phone

We are walking on thin ice

And I hope it doesn't break

And I need some space

To clear my head; to think about my life

With or without you

[Chorus]

We fight it out

We work it out

Give me some time to unwind

We fight it out

We work it out

Give me some time

With or without you

[Bridge 1]

Mile by mile we're farther apart

And it's one empty bottle

And two broken hearts

Night after night we are falling apart

Now it's two broken bottles

And four empty hearts

[Bridge 2]

Decompression

Depression period

Decompression

Depression period

Decompression

Depression period

Decompression

Depression period

[Verse 3]

And I need some space

To clear my head; to think about my life

With or without you

And I'm never there for you or me

Can't you read the story of our lives
