Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled up late to that old bar
Boots were muddy, heart was hard
You laughed once, my guard fell twice
Didn’t plan on staying all night
You talked small towns, busted cars
Dreamed ’bout kids and shooting stars
I just smiled, thought, "that’s real sweet"
Never knew what you’d wake up in me
[Chorus]
’Cause I didn’t know I needed you
Didn’t know my rough edges could be smoothed
You took that scared girl, turned her into truth
Hand in hand, in worn-out shoes
Now it’s Olive in your arms, Teddy on your chest
I look at this chaos and know I’m blessed
You’re my home, my heart, my best friend too
And I didn’t know, I didn’t know I needed you
[Verse 2]
There’s laundry piled on that chair
Crayons melted everywhere
You kiss my forehead in the mess
Say, "baby, we’re doing our best" (oh yeah)
You pour coffee, pack their bags
Catch my tears when the day drags
Somehow laughing through the hard
You keep lighting up the dark
[Chorus]
’Cause I didn’t know I needed you
Didn’t know my rough edges could be smoothed
You took that scared girl, turned her into truth
Hand in hand, in worn-out shoes
Now it’s Olive in your arms, Teddy on your chest
I look at this chaos and know I’m blessed
You’re my home, my heart, my best friend too
And I didn’t know, I didn’t know I needed you
[Bridge]
All the roads I walked alone
Led me right to your front porch
Every scar I tried to hide
You just held and called it mine
I was fine or so I claimed
Til you came and changed my name
Now my favorite view
Is this crazy life with you (hey!)
[Chorus]
’Cause I didn’t know I needed you
Didn’t know my rough edges could be smoothed
You took that scared girl, turned her into truth
Hand in hand, in worn-out shoes
Now it’s Olive in your arms, Teddy on your chest
I whisper a prayer, I must confess
You’re my home, my heart, my whole life too
And I thank God I found, I found I needed you

Style
country, Warm modern country ballad with female vocals, gentle acoustic guitar and light brushy drums. Verses stay intimate with pedal steel swells and subtle piano; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies, a steady kick, and bright fiddle fills. Middle section strips back to vocal and guitar before a final full-band, sing-along chorus.
