[Verse 1]
Words get trapped in my mind
Sorry if I don't take the time to feel the way I do
'Cause the first day you came into my life
My time ticks around you
[Chorus]
But then I need your voice
As the key to unlock all the love that's trapped in me
So tell me when it's time
To say I love you
[Bridge]
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to
We are all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt I figured out
I love you
[Verse 2]
And I feel lonely for
All the losers that will never take the time to say
What's was really on their mind, instead
They just hide away
[Chorus]
Yet they'll never have
Someone like you to guide them or help along the way
Or tell them when it's time
To say I love you
[Outro]
So tell me when it's time
To say I love you
