I Need You (Commentary) Songtext
von Jars of Clay

Strangely out of place
There′s a light filling this room
Where none would follow before
I can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to me way my pride
Do I want shelter from the rain
Or the rain to wash me way?

I need you; I need you; I need you
I need you; I need you; I need you
You′re all I'm living for

I might sound like a fool
But I think I felt you moving
Closer to me
Face to the ground
To hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight
I feel you lift me up
You are the shelter from the rain
And the rain to wash me away


I need you; I need you; I need you
I need you; I need you; I need you (All I'm living for)
I need you; I need you; I need you
You′re all I′m living for (All I'm living for)
All I′m living for (All I'm living for)
You′re all I'm living for

Face to the ground
To hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight
Feel you lift me up
Can′t deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt away my pride
Only had a second to spare
But all the time in the world
To know you're there
You are the shelter from the rain
And the rain to wash me away

I need you; I need you; I need you (All I'm living for)
I need you; I need you; I need you (All I′m living for)
And I need you, I need you, I need you
You′re all I'm living for (All I′m living for)
All I'm living for (All I′m living for)
All I'm living for (All I′m living for)
All I'm living for (All I'm living for)
You′re all I′m living for
