What You Need
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I can take ludes and sleep
These pills to help anxiety
I would take the mess you leave
If I could give you what you need
A temporary fix for the storm at the end of the night
Callin' out my name but it sounds like you reading a line
I don't really care, I could drown in the waves that you cause
First to count the fears like it's real when you string me along
But I could take ludes and sleep
These pills to help anxiety
I would take the mess you leave
If I could give you what you need
And I'd gladly give you what you need
Holdin' you tight on a high while I wait for the bond
And tied my heart to the train tracks just to get off
You say you gotta go like I don't know nothin' has changed
But I could ping back like a dog here but you'd never stay
But I could take ludes and sleep
These pills to help anxiety
I would take the mess you leave
If I could give you what you need
And I'd gladly give you what you need
Ooh, take what you want, love
Ooh, till you get to the bottom
If I can take ludes and sleep
These pills to help anxiety
I would take the mess you leave
If I could give you what you need
