what you need (when you need it)

we’ve been looking for answers

i’ll hold the nail and you hold the hammer

angle the light first so we can see the house up the street

we can afford it now

i got a job, neighboring town

taking the edge off

does anything really take the edge off?

no.

we’re living in the place you grew up in

what does it feel like?

does it ever feel right?

oh, i know you’re worried

i know there’s nothing i can say to make it okay

but we’ll be okay

so just hold on to me like you ever need anything

look at your folded arms

they soften and pry apart when you let me in

and i hold on to this feeling that i get

i’ll go wherever you go when you need it

i see you stretching out to lift up from the ground

and you touch my hand

a place to land

let me be what you need

what you need when you need it

happier now, we’re moving around

talking it out, pushing it down

do i ever know what you’re thinking?

or do you feel like i’m lying to you when i tell you i love you?

and i want to know you

and i know it’s hard but give it all

oh give it all

give me all of you
