I Need You

I have a proud heart. Haven’t yet seen it all

But I’ve been spit on, by the ones I thought were real

And I don’t drink much, when I do I just

Get thoughtful, until I’ve had my fill

I’m from a small town, but I still get out

I’ve been let down, and I let down those who looked up to me somehow

You’ll find me, american dream, my korean eyes barely ever blinking

I used to battle all the nights alone

I used to fool myself that you had gone

But the truth...is I need you

I used to care about the rock n’ roll

I grew a face my momma didn’t know

But the truth....is I need you

I fill my paper bags with all my old shoes

Yeah I’m on the move, but I got no stone to throw

I want what they have

What my parents cracked

But what’s a gamble if you’ve got nothing to lose

I’m from a small town

But I still clean out

Yeah I’ve been burnt out, but I burnt up all the pieces of my bad luck

I found you right where I left you

You never left me, even when I left you

I built my bridges up to make a city

I didn’t realize you couldn’t see me

I’m from a small town but I still clean out

I’m from a small town but I still get down

I’m from a small town, but I still get out

I’m from a small town, but I still get down
