beloved

Maybe all the world is insecure, maybe All of us are looking for a cure, maybe Something that can finally reassure, maybe We're chasing after money like a drug, but the Money's never gonna be enough, no, it's Never gonna take the place of love, maybe I'm still looking for the truth, but I Can't seem to find it in the news, when it All starts singing like the blues, maybe The days start feeling like the nights, like it's Just another way to lose a fight, like I'm The only one who's looking for the light, maybe If only I could open up my eyes Would the truth be what would set me free? If only I could open up my eyes Would I see that maybe I need you like you need me? And the new year dawns And the old year's drifting on and on Like my doubts in orbit around the sun Every day begins to feel the same, like I'm Waiting on the wind to go and change, but there's No one but myself around to blame lately Staring and despairing on the screen, turning Everything that's real into a meme, but the Feeds that I read don't feed me what I need If only I could open up my eyes Would the truth be what would set me free? If only I could open up my eyes Would I see that maybe I need you Like you need me? And the new year dawns And the old year's drifting on and on Like my doubts in orbit around the sun And I still don't think I'm wrong To be so earnest in these broken, longing songs Like my doubts in orbit around the sun Around the sun, around the sun, around the sun The questions that we're too afraid to ask, 'cause the Present is the future of the past, 'cause the River is the same but moving fast, lately Maybe every "other" is a "we", maybe Differences are easier to see, than the Family we are that's underneath, maybe Like you need me? And the new year dawns And the old year's drifting on and on Like my doubts in orbit around the sun And I'm looking in your eyes I see reflections of the sea reflecting the skies (I see myself, looking at you) (Looking at me, looking at) The skies (I see myself, looking at you) (Looking at me, looking at) I start to recognize that I need you I start to recognize that I need you Like you need me Like I need you, like you need me
