Get What I 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'm standing tall so deep inside of you
time slows down when I make it through
I love your green walls yet I stand so dry
as I go on with ease to the other side
you can't get me to do anything else
when there's something heavy hittin deep from the south
like a zomie I will follow each drop
I'm not gonna stop until my arms fall off
I gotta get what I need
I wanna watch it flow over me
I want to sit deep right over the reef
and let it fall on me
I gotta get what I want
no its never enough
when it plays out like glass
and it wraps around fast
no I cant get enough
no I cant get enough
no I cant get enough
I gotta get what I need
you move quick
yet I ain't jumpin ship
I always want more
when you swallow me whole
when I'm under I wonder how long
I can swim to the deep
sittin here in solitude
so happy I could sink
there's a thing that I can't deny
when we get together my heart's in flight
you cover me up or you're shuttin me down
either way I know you're not messin around
I gotta get what I need
I wanna watch it flow over me
I want to sit deep right over the reef
and let it fall on me
I gotta get what I want
no its never enough
when it plays out like glass
and it wraps around fast
no I cant get enough
no I cant get enough
no I cant get enough
I gotta get what I need
you can't get me to do anything else
when there's somthing heavy hitting deep from the south
like a zombie I will follow each drop
I'm not gonna stop until my arms fall off
I gotta get what I need
I wanna watch it flow over me
I want to sit deep right over the reef
and let it fall on me
I gotta get what I want
no its never enough
when it plays out like glass
and it wraps around fast
no I cant get enough
no I cant get enough
no I cant get enough
I gotta get what I need
get what I need
