Space
Sarah Buxton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you want space
A little time on your own
To clear out your mind
Really unwind, and just be alone

Things are moving too fast, going too far
Getting too close, too close to the heart
And now you want space
Well I'll give you space
Plenty of space, all the space that you need

Does it make you feel free, make you feel young?
How does it feel not to need anyone?
You say you want space
Well I'll give you space

You need your own bed
You need your own room
Well how 'bout an island?
I bet you could find one
On the dark side of the moon

Then you won't have to deal with anything real
Cause I won't be here, I'll just disappear

And you can have space
Honey, I'll give you space
Plenty of space, all the space that you need

Does it make you feel free, make you feel young?
How does it feel not to need anyone?
Oh, you say you want space




Baby, you can have space
I'll give you
