I Don't Need Anyone
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.
How we walk along the dock and watch the buildings rest
And all along, we're livin' in the shadow
Yeah, you wonder how your favorite life did not pay off
A life I always loved until I knew you
(Ooooh, ooooh)
Don't know why I need you, I don't need anyone
Don't know why I need you, I don't need anyone
I'm the last man runnin'
When I'm down on my luck, show me a good time
When I'm hot as a match, give me a punching bag
How we walk along the dock and watch the shadows fall
The crying gulls and I cry even more
Don't know why I need you, I don't need anyone
Don't know why I need you, I don't need anyone
I'm the last man runnin'
I'm the last man runnin'
And in the northern light
Our directions swing together
Oh, I was wrong, I was right
Our directions swing together (ahhh, la la la la)
Our directions swing together
Our directions swing together
