We need each other

in memory of Nancy (1980-2012)

You are staring right up at me into me

talking right back at me because you know me know me

just drop the idea I believe head strong we heal

you are the one with the upper hand

The roots of this relationship

were forged with wicked time

but every time my errors showed

you were the first to understand

You're not just the one who needs me

I ain't just the one who wants you

we need each other

Sordid smile tired eyes

weakening gaze I realize

how lucky I am to be in your life

When you see me I see through your eyes

I wonder how you see through those tears too

forgive my apparent disguises

you're benevolent to let me be anywhere near you

You're not just the one who needs me

I ain't just the one who wants you

we need each other

I know I can trust you

to trust me to hold you through everything

Please please trust me

to trust you to always hang on to me

for I will be(side) you through everything

Our happy here and now

is because of

your divine understanding

for every time I was haywire

your conditions just gave way to me

The roots of this relationship

were forged with wicked time

but every time my errors showed

you were the first to understand

You're not just the one who needs me

I ain't just the one who wants you

we need each other

I know I can trust you

to trust me to hold you through everything

Please please trust me

to trust you to always hang on to me

Its a mutual thing 

I bask in the warmth of your belief in me

for I will be(side) you through everything

(just hang on to me baby)

(but dont worry.. I'm holding you tight)
