Verse 1
Sunday sunrise, slow and low
Bare feet stumble to the window
Morning shadows settle on old boots
Only sound, an old clock’s muse
I keep your picture propped on pine
Chipped frame, faded smile, standin’ fine
It’s been some miles, I say your name
One word, then three more, then yours again
Chorus
I need you
I need you
More than the moon needs nighttime
More than the highway needs a sign
I need you
And that’s the only truth
I need you
I need you
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, I need you
Oh, oh, I need you
Verse 2
Cracked old porch boards, all creak and groan
Barely holding, but they’re my own
Empty swing, just sways and waits
Missing laughter, echoing yesterdays
I remember three July nights
Lightning bugs, whiskey, and porch light
I held your hand, I can still feel
Thunderstorm promise, old wounds heal
Chorus
I need you
I need you
More than rain needs farmland
More than silence needs a plan
I need you
And that’s the gospel truth
I need you
I need you
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, I need you
Oh, oh, I need you
Bridge
Maybe love stays, maybe love stings
Maybe I chase, maybe I cling
But every morning I still wake
Saying your name, calling your name
And every evenin', just the same
Chorus
I need you
I need you
More than memories need a face
More than time needs old mistakes
I need you
That’s the only truth
I need you
I need you
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, I need you
Oh, oh, I need you
Outro
I need you
I need you
I need you
