[Verse 1]
I wash the cups and grin
when your name comes through my mind
I catch myself thinking of you
and I don’t even fight
There’s a bird on the fence
and it startles me again
Funny how I want your arms
but I flinch at wings in the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been tough, I’ve been proud
I’ve kept my heart locked down
But you come in so easy
and I don’t want out now
[Chorus]
I want you, I need you
I need you right here
I want you, I need you
and it feels so clear
I’ve never needed anyone
like I need you now
I want you, I need you
come hold me down
[Verse 2]
I’ve walked alone so long
I could swear that was enough
But your voice on a cold phone line
turns my hard edges to dust
And that bird still scares me
when it flutters past my door
But you make the whole wide world
feel worth being scared for
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been tough, I’ve been proud
I’ve kept my heart locked down
But you come in so easy
and I don’t want out now
[Chorus]
I want you, I need you
I need you right here
I want you, I need you
and it feels so clear
I’ve never needed anyone
like I need you now
I want you, I need you
come hold me down
[Bridge]
Let the past keep its scars
I’m done acting strong
If I shake in your hands
still I know where I belong
[Final Chorus]
I want you, I need you
I need you right here
I want you, I need you
and it feels so clear
I’ve never needed anyone
like I need you now
I want you, I need you
come hold me down
