Lyrics My Morning Jacket

My Morning Jacket

I Needed It Most

I needed it most, when I was eighteen

But now that I'm older, I don't need many things

Just someone to hold, that's what you give me

When dark touches your skull babe

Aw, baby you drop that on me

So I say Lord, all the Heavens you've made

Can't hold back the ghosts, that haunt my baby and me

Oh can't you hold 'em back, from comin' on in

To a lovely woman, that just wants her mind back again

I cannot crumble, what you want this to be

Or bring peace of mind, ain't there to see

Aw, if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me

But to have and to hold, yeah that's the way it's gotta be
