Now we're out of time
I said it's my fault
It's my fault

Can't make good decisions
It won't stop
I can't stop

Give me some time, I just need a little time
Give me some time, I just need a little time
Give me some time, I just need a little time
Give me some time, I just need a little time

You talk way too much
You talk way too much
It's only the end
It's only the end...hey.

We don't get the news
He says why not?
Why not?

Forget what you heard
'Cause it won't stop
it won't stop

Give 'em some time, They just need a little time
Give 'em some time, They just need a little time
Give 'em some time, They just need a little time
Give 'em some time, They just need a little time

You talk way too much
You talk way too much
It's only the end
It's only the end as you know it...

"You're not supposed to say that
you taught me too much"
Is this how it ends?
Is this how it ends?

    General Comment:Divorce

    A moved on partner "Give me sometime I just need a little time"

    And one that wants to get back together. "You talk way too much/ It's only the end"

    General Comment:The lyrics to this song are just so true.
    I feel lame saying this, but it's the exact thing with my relationship.
    We both just need time, we can't make the right decisions, always argue, talk too much.
    And then sometimes I can't help thinking it's the end.
    I don't know...it just rings true somehow.
    Like, connects to my specific situation more than anyone or anything else I've heard.
    It gives the advice I think I needed... "Give them some time, they just need a little time."
    So time is something I'll give.

    General Comment:Has anyone notice how many songs the Strokes have about people talking too much or not knowing when to shut up?

    General Comment:Until I looked at the title i thought that he says "You don't have to ask" in the chorus, it sounds like he says it with a british accent like "awwsk"
