lyrics

It's the middle of the night and I can't get any sleep
You're somewhere far away, you're always out of reach
Sometimes it's not enough, talking through a screen
But I know what I need, I know just what I need

I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you to walk in through the door

There's no concept of time when you're flying up here
But the planets keep on spinning and our cells are surely aging
Now I'm lost in the abyss, could I just steal one kiss?
But I know what I need, I know just what I need

I need you when I'm sad and alone
I need you when I want someone to hold
I need you before I get to old
I need you to walk in through the door

I know you're in love with your great big world, but that's just the start to the universe
You could have seen it all with me
You should have seen it all with me
I need you to know, I need you right now
I need you to know, I need you right now
I need you to know, I need you to know
This was the choice that I had to make, to force myself along after all I could take

I know you'll never understand
Why should I even care?
I know you'll never understand, and I know you'll never leave him
