Needed You Still Songtext
von R+R=NOW

I′ve been traveling the world
Feel like Peter
I'ma go a little bit further
I′ve been so high
High for love
But I'm too far away
Somewhere you won't hurt

Where are you when I need you still?
Will you be around?
Where are you when I need you still?
Will you be around?
Oh, yeah
Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh


Where are you when I need you still?
Will you be around?
Where are you when I need you still?
Will you be around?
Oh, yeah
Yeah, oh

Like the drums beating

When I′m needing

Like an old grandmama needing a sweater
Sweat beating since you been away, internal bleeding
Memories racing through my mind
Pulled over by one time
′Cause they were speeding
But one time we were greeting
We were meeting
We were eating
Miss me or miss me not
Food for thought, we were feeding


Romeo and Juliet deadly plot
We were praying to Jesus
Better give us one more shot
A plane, a bird, a boat, a dock
So we can stand back in each other's shoes
Walk a mile instead of three thousand
Jagged rocks and ragged socks
As holy as the world is not
Too lonely to look at clocks

They remind me of how much time has passed
Since we last took a walk
Since I seen you last
The cat stepped two with my tongue
Left me nothing to talk

When I′m needing
Like the drums beating
Needing you to bring back the chalk
So we can outline a love
Flirtin' with ash to dust
Feel like a vast land between us
A nomad fiending for romance and a bus
I feel like the last man with no meaning
My heaven been in hell for months
I put faith in no man but in you I trust

Hell, they could hold you ransom for seven billion bucks
I would pay with interest
If it meant angels would let you up

If it is what it is then fuck a visit
Do time in solitary confined lockup
If it came with a conjugal touch
What is this?

I mean I′m in need of you
I'm crippled, I need a crutch
Since you been gone
Cupid done tripled in this punch
Butterflies too far gone to call home my guts
All I got is some lines, a poem
And some et cetera such and such

I′m a word but hard at reciting
I'm a bird but hard at flying

I'm a dead man but hard at dying
Addicted to holograms of reuniting
Or maybe the man the bag lady is finally finding
Maybe Erykah Badu gon′ make a remix called
"Maybe Both of You Too Heavy to Be Riding"
I′m six

I got an autograph signed
But nobody there to do the signing
I'm lonely
Like Ginuwine without his pony
I wonder if I′m the only
So much distance feel like we phony
Like we never really exist
Like when we FaceTime we would be like "Who is this?"
We stuck between a rock and a hard kiss
Running out of luck with the hard kicks

But when you were here

I was every king
When you went away
I wasn't a thing
I was a bad keyboard player
Out of tune with God on the Lord′s day
Hathaway not here no more to sing
I always wonder when he jumped out the window that day
If he thought "Dang, I should've stayed"
I need you
But it was too late

I need you
How I feel when you in a different state
I need you
Feel like I jumped that same way
I need back back in the day when we was young
Before you went away
But I got hope we will rise again like the sun
And repeat back to the one
Like when Glasper play

I′m done
