Intro

Verse 1

That's the sound of the

 last threads starting to fray

If we don't watch out we'll

 fall down the rest of the way

Refrain

If it continues on like

 this then there'll be

nothing left for us to fix

Chorus 1

What we both need is time

 apart before it gets any worse

 We might just find we're better

off or learn how to make it work

Verse 2

As the flame makes it's

 way to the end of the rope

if we don't do something

 soon than it's gonna explode

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 2

What we both need is time

 apart before it gets any worse

 We might just find we're better

off or learn how to make it work

Bridge

Been together long enough

to know sometimes

 we need a little space once

 in a while to breathe

 And I know this time was bad

 but I think that we should

take a couple days

 take a few steps back and think

before we throw it all away

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 3

What we both need is time

 apart before it gets any worse

 We might just find we're better

off or learn how to make it work
