Need

Paint me a window so I can see
Over the rainbow inside of me
I need
How I need
Crimson and clover, wagon and hay
These are some sweet things, so lovely and gay
I need
How I need

'Cause I'm not the strongman
I am the one in need

If I were a circus traveling around
Would I be the high wire or the one falling down?
I need
How I need

'Cause I'm not the strongman
I am the one
Just who I am and just who you see
A strange contradiction won't let me be
I need

Sunshine and laughter and innocent eyes
Love that stays after the good and the bad times
I need
How I need
To show you the real me is the hardest of all
Should I stay silent or risk the fall?
I need
How I need

(chorus)
And what isn't lovely blossoms one day
Turns bitter snow to a sweet summer day
And I need
You need
How we need
How I need
