Need You Now

[Verse 1]
Blindfolded in the backseat
Always in need of a second opinion to even roll out of bed
So young, yet so many days wasted
Locked away in a haze
Spent lookin' at the ceiling while the day goes by outside
There's not a tear in my eye, 'cause they dried out
Just like the fire, now I'm empty and cold
Takin' anything to make me feel whole
And it worked for a minute or two
Then I was back at the bottom, thinkin', "Why am I so blue?
Blue all the damn time?"

[Chorus]
I need you now
You made me see it from the bright side, yeah
I need you now, ooh
To drain the poison out
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna find all the tools that I need to fight
But I need you now, ooh
Yeah, you might be the only way out

[Verse 2]
Head spinnin' in the back, be never complete
Anything but opinions of all I should've done instead
So young, yet my heart is not raisin'
Somethin' wrong or maybe I'm just lazy
Busy talkin' to the walls, tryin' to decide
Whether I'm dead or alive, it's a fine line
All of my doctors, they've been talkin' 'bout you
Like you're the only thing to cure the blues

[Chorus]
Well, I need you now
You made me see it from the bright side, yeah
I need you now, ooh'
To drain the poison out
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna find all the tools that I need to fight
But I need you now, ooh
Yeah, you might be the only way out

[Bridge]
I was five feet underground when I first saw you
You unveiled my embedded side and brought me a clear view
Suddenly, you had my mind work like you're supposed to
You showed me what it feels like takin' a breath without a fistfight

[Chorus]
I need you now
You made me see it from the bright side, yeah
I need you now
You made me see it from the bright side, yeah
I need you now, ooh, to drain the poison out
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna find all the tools that I need to fight
But I need you now, ooh
Yeah, you might be the only way out
I need you
I need you
I need you now, ooh
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna find all the tools that I need to fight
But I need you, I need you
I need you now, ooh
