• 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
  
  And I can't be alone
  
  I just need some space
  To clear my head
  To think about my life
  With or without you
  
  We fight it out
  We work it out
  Give me some ti-i-ime
  
  [Repeat: x2]
  To unwind
  
  I must confess
  I'm falling apart
  Breaking your heart
  Crying with you on the phone
  
  We're walking
  On thin ice
  And I hope it doesn't break
  
  I just need some space
  To clear my head
  To think about my life
  With or without you
  
  We fight it out
  We work it out
  Give me some ti-i-ime
  To unwind
  
  We fight it out
  We work it out
  Give me some ti-i-ime
  With or with out you
  
  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
  
  Decompression
  Depression period
  Decompression
  Depression period
  
  Decompression
  Depression period
  Decompression
  Depression period
  
  And I need some space
  To clear my head
  To think about my life
  With or without you
  
  I'm never there
  For you or me
  Can't you read
  The story of our lives? Writer/s: DAVID BUCKNER, JACOBY SHADDIX, JERRY HORTON, TOBIN ESPERANCE

• Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganMusic is an outlet for people to get their feelings out, whether they're happy, sad, angry, in love, broken hearted, or disillusioned with the music industry. Not every song has to be super deep and profound. Chill, bro.
• Hannah from London, United Kingdomok fair enough people that's what u think and clearly u guys dont listen to Rock; the only type of music that has been around for generations and infact if it wasn't the new computers (that came out about the 70's/80's) then there's a good chance that we all still be listening to rock music but the point is just because u don't something or agree with something doesn't mean that u have really out bout it *hint to a certain comment but not saying which one* and they make songs like this becuase it suits the people that listen to it who might feel the same way or feel that this music shows how they're because they cant get out their emotions . So end of story i like rock i understand it if you dont like/understand it then ok fine but dont be out bout it :}
• Tim from Pittsburgh, PaWhat can be considered original? Let's see you write a song about a sensitive issue.
• John from Greeneville, TnActually just another sad bastard song that just keeps telling the same tales over and over again. They either want to kill themselves or their mothers. Or they're sad or depressed and can't come down because they can't get up and they were deprived children or ignored adults and they blah blah blah and so and on and on and on. Stop it already!
  
  Some need to get a grip and do something that might be hard to comprehend - something original.
