I Needed You Then, I Need You Now
Nothing But Thieves
Wake up
The planet aches almost instantly
But those precious few seconds before
They feel like gold
I didn't feel right
I leaned too hard on you
And God, it wasn't fair
But babe, that's just the truth
And it covered me like Sun
The burn dug in too deep
I just couldn't help
But let it all in
I let it all in
I watched the change
I watched me change
From the start
Head chemical
Turned me to something that I'm not
I needed you then
I need you now
I need you now
Hold up
This granite grief is dragging me to sleep
And I've been dreaming of losing you
Almost every night
I didn't feel right
I wore love like a stain
I dropped years of my life
Like the Tokyo rain
And it bled into the house
Untethered me from the earth
It stopped me from giving you
What you deserve
What you deserve
I watched the change
I watched me change
From the start
Head chemical
Turned me to something that I'm not
I needed you then
I need you now
I need you now
Same old mistake
Same old mistake
You keep exploring
Wouldn't it be worth being somebody worth adoring?
I needed you then
I need you now
I need you now
And I rounded the bend
Sunrise into view
An arms length response
I dreamt myself brand new
A dog looking at itself
Not sure what it was worth
I'd die just to give you
What you deserve
I watched the change
I watched me change
From the start
Head chemical
Turned me to something that I'm not
I needed you then
I need you now
I need you now
Same old mistake
Same old mistake
You keep exploring
Wouldn't it be worth being somebody worth adoring?
I needed you then
I need you now
I need you now
