[Verse]
I need you like rain in the desert heat
Like the last heartbeat in a melody sweet
Like a ship needs the tide to find its way home
I need you
Oh I need you
I need you like the moon needs the night to glow
Like the roots need the earth for a seed to grow
Like a flame needs the air to keep burning on
I need you
Oh I need you
[Prechorus]
No star could shine without its sky
No river runs when it runs dry
I’m empty when you’re not near
[Chorus]
Need you like this
Like this
Like this
More than the sun needs the morning kiss
Every breath
Every step
Every part of me
Oh I need you
I need you like this
[Verse 2]
I need you like a song needs a broken heart
Like the paint needs the brush to become its art
Like a dream needs the dark before it can bloom
I need you
Oh I need you
I need you like the wind needs a place to go
Like the hands of the clock keep the world in flow
Like the roots of a tree keep it standing tall
I need you
I need it all
