I'm Not What You Need

Joe Purdy

Just want something beautiful, I want to look in your eyes
I want to listen to you sing my favorite song and cry
Want to reach into your oceans, want to calm your sea when it storms
I want to let you take hold of this sinking ship and lead me home

[Chorus]
But I'm not what you need
I've known you so much stronger
But you are such a pleasant fiction to me
So I guess that I'll dream of you a little longer

I want to pack up and move with you, oh and never look behind
I want to take your hand as we chase down the skyline
I want to tell you my stories, wake you up in the middle of the night
I want you to tell me when I'm wrong, and I just want you to smile at me when I'm right

[Chorus]

Don't want to take the light from your eyes
It would be nice if I could hold you tight
While I lay in the sand
You could love what's left of this lonely excuse of a man

[Chorus]
