What I Need Lyrics

by Dave Barnes

I got a head full of dreams and time here to scheme
This ain't good, good
I'm thinking, you know, about what did and didn't go
Like it should, should

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e94699-dave_barnes~what_i_need_lyrics.html ]
All of these expectations just mean my heart will be breaking
Oh, why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

I trouble with time but its will was not mine
There was no slowin' where it was going
The wishes I willed, all came back unfulfilled
I was praying without patience

All of these expectations just mean my heart will be breaking
Oh, why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

I keep calm, carry on, like nothing ever went wrong
That's what I'm gonna do, that's what I'm gonna do
Laugh it off, move along, get back where I belong
Live my life by leaning on you

Oh, lean on you, I'm gonna lean on you, yeah

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Oh, what I need, you give me what I need

Give me what I need
