Lyrics
You say, "it's easy, baby"
You express that it's simple, my dear
Say that you need me, baby
Claiming you require my presence, my dear
But I don't know if you think that's true
Uncertain if you genuinely believe in that statement
You say you love me, baby
You declare your love for me
That it's just been funny lately
Insisting that recent times have been peculiar
But I don't think that I believe you
I'm skeptical about believing your words
You won't just talk about it
You avoid discussing the issue
Sit philosophize about it
Sitting and contemplating the matter
Ooh, this problem of love
This issue of love
This chaos and that feeling
Referring to the confusion and emotional state
You keep me all too distant
You keep a significant distance
As if I have nothing to do with it
Acting as if I'm not involved
As if I'm just an object to be considered
Treating me as an object, not a person
Displace me back to my own center
Suggesting a return to my own center or self
Oh, I think it's time
Feeling that it's time for a change
We take a little time, love
Suggesting a pause in the relationship
Oh-oh, I think it's grey
Indicating uncertainty or ambiguity
We need a little space
Expressing a need for personal space
I feel my eyes roll
Feeling exasperated, eyes rolling
To the back of my skull
Expressing weariness from compromise
I'm exhausted by the compromise
Commenting on the toll of compromises
But I'll do it for you one more time
Willing to make another effort for the relationship
I think it's all the pendulum phrasing
Attributing the situation to a swinging motion
I think I'll go I think I'm staying
Undecided about leaving or staying
I've never not known what I want
Asserting clarity about personal desires
Who is this woman? So lost and in love
Reflecting on a confused and love-stricken state
Oh, I think it's time
Reiterating the need for a relationship break
We take a little time, love
Advocating for time apart
Oh, I think it's grey
Reinforcing the ambiguous nature of the situation
We need a little space
Emphasizing the necessity for personal space
O-Oh, I think it's time
We take a little time, love
Repeat of the need for relationship time-out
O-Oh, I think it's grey
Reiteration of the uncertainty in the relationship
I think we need some space
Stating a requirement for distance
Oh I think it's time
Repeating the call for relationship pause
We take a little time, love
Emphasizing the need for time apart
O-oh I think it's grey
Reiteration of the ambiguous nature of the situation
I think we need some space, honey
Expressing a need for space, affectionately
O-oh I think it's time
Repeating the call for time apart
That we take some time
Emphasizing the need for a break
O-oh I think it's grey
Repeating the uncertainty in the relationship
We need a little space
Reiterating the need for personal space
