Lyrics
You Know 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.
You've got to clean out the house
Take out all the things you don't want
You know you know to go beyond everything
And not be barred with your world
You've got to look around
You got to be yourself
Do you know your friend?
Well I'd die for him
Know that I'll come back
And live again
But the promise is all you need
And you've got the promise
I don't need to discuss my life
We're talking about it now
I know that you'll hear me
You didn't bring me all this way for nothing
I know that you're here
And we're both together
What more could you want?
You'd be surprised at how simple your intake can be
You got to clean out the house
Take out all the things you don't want
You know you need to go beyond everything
And not be barred with your world
You thought you had energy before
You won't know where you are
And the refrigerator is dead and gone
