Despite its particularly catchy rhythm, “A Little Space” has quite troubled lyrics, talking about a difficult relationship where the protagonist asks for more personal space to get it all straight in his head.
An alternative mix of the song was released on June 15th 2021 on Pentatonix' YouTube chan...
[Verse 1: Kevin]
I know your mother never liked me
She doesn't know the shady things you put me through
I got trouble recognizing
The things about you that I think I thought I knew
[Pre-Chorus: Matt & Kirstin]
I love you in a messed up way
It makes it difficult to find the words to say
There's not a better time or place
[Chorus: Scott]
I think I need, think I need a little space
Between your name and my lips I need a space
I send your calls and your kisses outer space
I know I wanted a taste but my senses came back
Now I know I'ma need a little space
You put too much and too little on my plate
Don't wanna bе somebody you're gonna hate
I need your kеy to my place we were movin' too fast
Now I know I'ma need a little space
[Post-Chorus: Kevin & Scott]
I'ma need a little
I'ma need a little
We were moving too fast
Now I know I'ma need a little
[Verse 2: Kevin]
I know you're heavy on my conscience
And there's nobody sleeping on your pillow side
If you're gonna be my constant
You've got a lot to figure out and so do I
[Pre-Chorus: Matt & Kirstin]
I love you in a messed up way
It makes it difficult to find the words to say
There's not a better time or place
[Chorus: Scott]
I think I need, think I need a little space
Between your name and my lips I need a space
I send your calls and your kisses outer space
I know I wanted a taste but my senses came back
Now I know I'ma need a little space
You put too much and too little on my plate
Don't wanna be somebody you're gonna hate
I need your key to my place we were movin' too fast
Now I know I'ma need a little space
[Post-Chorus: Kevin, Kirstin, Scott]
I'ma need a little (Space)
I need your key to my place
We were moving too fast
Now I know I'ma need a little (Space)
I'ma need a little (Space)
I'ma need a little (Space)
I'ma need a little (Space)
[Pre-Chorus: Scott]
I love you in a messed up way
It makes it difficult to find the words to say
There's not a better time or place
[Chorus: Scott]
I think I need, think I need a little space
Between your name and my lips I need a space
I send your calls and your kisses outer space
I know I wanted a taste but my senses came back
Now I know I'ma need a little space
You put too much and too little on my plate
Don't wanna be somebody you're gonna hate (Gon' hate, gon' hate)
I need your key to my place we were movin' too fast
Now I know I'ma need a little space
[Post-Chorus: Mitch & Kirstin]
I need a little space
Ooh, ooh, oh

Sometimes within the entanglements of love you don’t realize, “Maybe there are some red flags here that I need to think about. And I may need a little bit of space so that I can think about this and really make sure everything is in line with the vision I have for my life when it comes to love.”
