Space and Time

When you asked for space, I stepped away Cause I believed if I could wait That you'd come back around I never thought you'd roam When you took your space And I sat home alone Well how could I have known You'd find your next embrace In all that space When you asked for time, I stayed away Cause I believed we'd be just fine If you'd just think things through Like you always do When you need some time So, I just bided mine Imagine my surprise When you said we're through How could you? Just smile and walk away As the time and space That you promised would be just a while Turned into days and weeks And birthdays come and gone With just a card in the mail Signed, Kind Regards, I'm movin' on And by the time that you came back you were long gone Then you made a list Of all the things I need to fix so I can be More like you, and less like me I tried a little bit of therapy To smooth out all my flaws Well, I could be just like a god Rolling boulders up that hill Wearing boots my feet can't fill How could you? Just smile and walk away As the time and space That you promised would be just a while Turned into days and weeks With birthdays come and gone And just a card in the mail Signed, Kind Regards, I'm movin' on And by the time that you came back you were long gone You wanted better chemistry Looking for a TV star A doctor, six foot three Or maybe anybody but me And now you say we're gonna be fine I'm gonna need a little space and time
