What I Need

I got a head full of dreams

And time here to scheme

This ain't good

I'm thinking, you know

About what did and didn't go

Like it should

All of these expectations

Just mean my heart'll be breaking

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 troubled with time

But it's 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 those expectations

Just meant my heart was breaking

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's 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

Laugh it off, move on

Get back where I belong

Live my life by leaning on you

You give me what I need

Even on my brightest day

Even in a hurricane

You give me what I need

Even when it's way too much

Even when I'm down to dust (2x)
