I Need You

I've dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can't see
I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me

Complete with walls, I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made
From what I've just let pile and pile up

I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten

I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need

Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the wall
And you can hear my distant call

The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out, "Someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back"

I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten

I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
I need you, I need you now

When my hope seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
You've read my words there, on the beach

I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything

I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
'Cause you're everything, everything, everything
(I need you, I need you now)
