You call me funny, say I'm endearing
You think you love me, you have this feeling
That I'm the antidote, I'm what's missing
The simple anecdote of what's worth living
And you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me now
And you listen to my complaints
You see my visions and my mistakes
But I'm a novelty, my time is borrowed
You couldn't promise me, we'll have tomorrow
But you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me now
Yeah, you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me now
You could cut me open, you could run me dry
You could leave me broken, and I'd still have to try
To crawl back up to you, and would you take me?
I did this all for you, and could you blame me?
But you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me now
I trust too much, I always have
And I played by rules to stay on a track
And I'm too afraid of getting hurt
So, I shut my mouth and I stay alert
Now I trust no one, you're all I know
Tell me now, you won't let go
Will you someday find a better me?
'Cause I'm nothing new if I'm not 19
But you need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me now
You need me now
You need me now
Yeah, you need me for now
