I Needed You Then, I Need You Now
Wake up, the planet aches almost instantly
But those precious few seconds before, they feel like gold
I didn't feel right, I leaned too hard on you
And, God, it wasn't fair, but, babe, it's just the truth
And it covered me like sun, the burn dug in too deep
I just couldn't help but let it all in
I let it all in
I watched the change, I watched me change from the start
Head chemical turned me to something that I'm not
I needed you then, I need you now
I need you now
Hold up, this granite grief is dragging me to sleep
And I've been dreaming of losing you almost every night
I didn't feel right, I wore love like a stain
I dropped years of my life like the Tokyo rain
And it bled into the house, untethered me from the Earth
It stopped me from giving you what you deserve
What you deserve
I watched the change, I watched me change from the start
Head chemical turned me to something that I'm not
I needed you then, I need you now
I need you now
Same old mistake, same old mistake you keep exploring
Wouldn't it be worth being somebody worth adoring?
I needed you then, I need you now
I need you now
And I rounded the bend, sunrise into view
An arms length response, I dreamt myself brand-new
A dog looking at itself, not sure what it was worth
I'd die just to give you what you deserve
I watched the change, I watched me change from the start
Head chemical turned me to something that I'm not
I needed you then, I need you now
I need you now
Same old mistake, same old mistake you keep exploring
Wouldn't it be worth being somebody worth adoring?
I needed you then, I need you now
I need you now
