Need You Like This

Hold your tongue, draw a line in the sand

'Cause you can't make a fist if you hold someone's hand

Lonely road, but it isn't so bad

'Cause there's no way to lose what you never had

Floated like a lone dove

Was better off alone 'cause I'd only rely on the wind and the sky above

Now you're in the air, love

We're just a couple birds of a feather, and now I could swear

You're the air in my lungs

If you ever left, darlin' I'd fall apart

'Cause the sound in my chest is the beat of your heart

The world is on fire, the ending is fated

Pretending you're strong can be so overrated

So I'm telling you now, not afraid to admit

I can't help that I need you like this

If I was you, I would run far away

To the hills where there's no one for you to keep safe

Every time you don't, it's like a new leap of faith

Like I'll never go back to those days when I

Floated like a lone dove

Was better off alone 'cause I'd only rely on the wind and the sky above

Now you're in the air, love

We're just a couple birds of a feather, and now I could swear

You're the air in my lungs

If you ever left, darlin' I'd fall apart

'Cause the sound in my chest is the beat of your heart

The world is on fire, the ending is fated

Pretending you're strong can be so overrated

So I'm telling you now, not afraid to admit

I can't help that I need you like this

Like the trees need the air

Like a river needs water

Like dad needs to learn how to cry from his daughter

Like mean girls in high school need some kind of drama

Like stars need the sky

Like a babe needs his mama

If you ever left, darlin' I'd fall apart

'Cause the sound in my chest is the beat of your heart

The world is on fire, the ending is fated

Pretending you're strong can be so overrated

So I'm telling you now, not afraid to admit

I can't help that I need you like this

I can't help that I need you like this
