I Needed You

He held my heart in the palm of his hand
Pulled back his arm as I sank in the sand
Washed me away like a stain on his shirt
A smudge on a window left by a bird

But you found my heart buried deep in the wood
Dusted it off, and you kept it for good
You never step in the same river twice
Isn't that lovely? Isn't that nice?

I needed you
I needed you
Like the night needs the light to wake up to
I needed you
I needed you
Like the black needs the blue
I needed you

You never step in the same river twice
It's always changing
Sometimes it's raging
Sometimes it's paradise

I needed you
I needed you
Like the night needs the light to wake up to
I needed you
I needed you
Like the black needs the blue
I needed you
