Lyrics You Need Me - Nathaniel Rateliff

You Need Me

It’s like you’re telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»
Are you telling me now, in the middle of the set, it’s through?
Or did I walk by and I never saw it?
Maybe
Or I was reading my lines and I never heard my cue
Running to the top of the hill, then the hill starts over
You can bury yourself in the ground that you dug up
Now I was just contemplating, when do the tears dry up?
Far too easy to bait me, at least we shared the cup
Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?
Or are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «Fuck you»?
I’m the only one left on the sinking boat not believing
That you were calling from the water and screaming back, «It's true»
Start looking around and seeing it’s far too easy
You could lose a limb in a snare you set for yourself
Now don’t you try to fool me, when you’re dumb, you don’t fear as much
If it’s gonna be that simple, I’d rather do it drunk
Stumbling 'round until you’re queasy
You’re losing your hair, but you’ve got friends
And if it’s gonna be that simple
I’ve got a long way to go to never again
Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?
Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?
Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?
Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?
