[Verse 1]
We're staying up
We're gonna watch the sun come out
Everyone's here
There's silver slipping through the clouds
I pull this moment close
To stop me running out of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to patience, undefined
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
Hear this complicated heart of mine
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Verse 2]
That's all it takes
A simple little twist of fate
A little spark
Some strength to keep your heart from breaking when
You get so close
'Cause breaking comes and breaking goes
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to patience, losing time
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
Hear this complicated heart of mine (Woah, oh)
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Bridge]
Yeah, we all need somebody
Yeah, I got you if you got me
Yeah, we all need somebody
Yeah, I got you if you got me
Yeah, we all need somebody
[Chorus]
All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone, oh-oh
All I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Outro]
All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
We all need someone
