So many things I don't understand
So many things that I need to know
My life's not working out the way they planned
Is there some other way I ought to go
I need some time to think
I need some time to think
I'm just a student on the on the path of life
I'm just somebody seeking out the truth
I only wanna know what's wrong or right
Don't put me down just cause I am a youth
I need some time to think - I need some time
I need some time to let my brain cool down
I need some time to think - I need some time
I need some time to let my brain cool down
My teachers told me what I need to know
They shoved so many things right on my plate
They said eat it if I wanna grow
I'd like a little time to cogitate
I need some time to think - I need some time
I need some time to let my brain cool down
I need some time to think - I need some time
I need some time to let my brain cool down
Feel like a ship in a bottle, I'm frightened that I'll get lost
I need somebody to help me make it across
Feel like a tune with no beat, somebody help me
Take away this cross,* wont you let me be free
I need some time to think - I need some time
I need some time to let my brain cool down
I need some time to think - I need some time
I need some time to let my brain cool down
So many things I don't understand
So many things that I need to know
My life's not working out the way they planned
Is there some other way I ought to go
I need some time to think
I need some time to think
