man i need 4

Verse 1

Shaky hands on my coffee cup

Light bends slow across the table

Man I need

Just a minute more, before

I try to swallow those doubts, drown 'em out

One breath, then another

I rerun mornings, you and me under covers

Man I need

A word from you, a sign, a signal

Chorus

Man I need

Somebody holding on

Man I need

A little truth, a place to belong

I say I’m fine, I say I’m strong

Still, I keep lying alone

Man I need

Somebody real

Somebody grown

Man I need

Post-Chorus

Man I need

Yeah, man I need

Man I need

Right here, with me

Verse 2

Coffee and courage

Both getting cold

Talk myself up, then I fall, then I fold

Why do I

Let my silence speak for me instead

You used to call before breakfast, before the day

Now I replay the empty things we never said

Man I need

To hear your words wake me up

Reveal and repeat, reveal and repeat

Chorus

Man I need

Somebody holding on

Man I need

A little truth, a place to belong

I say I’m fine, I say I’m strong

Still, I keep lying alone

Man I need

Somebody real

Somebody grown

Man I need

Post-Chorus

Man I need

Yeah, man I need

Man I need

Right here, with me

Bridge

Two hands, tangled, tracing

Three missed calls, I’m facing

My reflection, my direction

Still stuck in this affection

Midnight confessions, never sent

Old letters, new intent

Man I need, man I need

Chorus

Man I need

Somebody holding on

Man I need

A little truth, a place to belong

I say I’m fine, I say I’m strong

Still, I keep lying alone

Man I need

Somebody real

Somebody grown

Man I need

Post-Chorus

Man I need

Man I need

Right here, with me

Man I need
