'I Need You'

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.

When you’re feeling like a lover

Nothing really matters anymore

I saw you standing there in the supermarket

With your red dressing falling

And your eyes are to the ground

Nothing really matters, nothing really matters

When the one you love is gone

You’re still in me, baby

I need you

In my heart, I need you

Cause nothing really matters

I’m standing in the doorway

You’re walking ‘round my place in your red dress, hair hanging down

With your eyes on one

We love the ones we can

Cause nothing really matters

When you’re standing, standing

I need you, need you

Cause nothing really matters

We follow the line of the palms of our hands

You’re standing in the supermarket

Nothing, holding hands

In your red dress, falling, falling in, falling in

A long black car is waiting ‘round

I will miss you when you’re gone

I’ll miss you when you’re gone away forever

Cause nothing really matters

I thought I knew better, so much better

And I need you

I need you

Cause nothing really matters

On the night we wrecked like a train

Purring cars and pouring rain

Never felt right about, never again

Cause nothing really matters

Nothing really matters anymore, not even today

No matter how hard I try

When you’re standing in the aisle, and no, baby

Nothing, nothing, nothing

I need, I need, I need you

I need you

I need you

Just breathe, just breathe

I need you
