Lyrics
Lean
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 keep it simple at the start
And never question things too hard
Shouldn’t shock you when you’re down this far
I’m not asking for a fix
I just need you close to reach
If can’t stop myself at all
If can’t lean on you I fall
Every single time I’m wrong
Every selfish trip I’m on
If I can’t lean on you I fall
When I think I’m so messed up
And when you think you’re so messed up
Gotta keep in mind that we’re just us
I’m not asking for a fix
I just need you close to reach
If can’t stop myself at all
If can’t lean on you I fall
Every single time I’m wrong
Every selfish trip I’m on
If I don’t lean on you
If I don’t lean on you I fall
If I can’t lean on you I fall
I’m hoping for the perfect day
When I look into the right face
And really mean it, saying, I'm okay
I’m not asking for a fix
I just need you close to reach
If can’t stop myself at all
If can’t lean on you I fall
Every single time I’m wrong
Every selfish trip I’m on
If I don’t lean on you
If I don’t lean on you I fall
