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.
I want to give you
Whatever you need
What is it you need?
Is it what i need?
I want to give you
Whatever you need
What is it you need?
Is it within me?
It's hard to explain
How i am getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe that i would
Let myself get so wrapped into you
It's gotta to be something
That would be worthwhile
For me to give to you
We need a connection
But you seem to push me
Far away from you
From you
From you
Harder i push the further i fall
Well you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but i can't always,
Always,
Always,
Be wrong.
