Need You Like This

Hold your tongue, draw a line in the sand 'Cause you can't make a fist if you hold someone's hand Lonely road, but it isn't so bad 'Cause there's no way to lose what you never had Floated like a lone dove Was better off alone 'Cause I'd only rely on the wind and the sky above Now you're in the air, love We're just a couple birds of a feather And now I could swear You're the air in my lungs If you ever left, darlin' I'd fall apart 'Cause the sound in my chest is the beat of your heart The world is on fire, the ending is fated Pretending you're strong can be so overrated So I'm telling you now, not afraid to admit I can't help that I need you like this If I was you, I would run far away To the hills where there's no one for you to keep safe Every time you don't it's like a new leap of faith Like I'll never go back to those days when I Floated like a lone dove Was better off alone 'Cause I'd only rely on the wind and the sky above Now you're in the air, love We're just a couple birds of a feather and now I could swear You're the air in my lungs If you ever left, darlin' I'd fall apart 'Cause the sound in my chest is the beat of your heart The world is on fire, the ending is fated Pretending you're strong can be so overrated So I'm telling you now, not afraid to admit I can't help that I need you like this Like the trees need the air Like a river needs water Like dad needs to learn how to cry from his daughter Like mean girls in high school need some kind of drama Like stars need the sky Like a babe needs his mama If you ever left, darlin' I'd fall apart 'Cause the sound in my chest is the beat of your heart The world is on fire, the ending is fated Pretending you're strong can be so overrated So I'm telling you now, not afraid to admit I can't help that I need you like this I can't help that I need you like this
