“U Need It”

“U NEED IT” AI Tony Sanchez Written by 12Gauge858 Intro — close-mic spoken, warm Rhodes, soft room tone, deep pulse slowly entering] Mmm… I found u… sitting there with the lights low… phone face down… trying not to let the day show on your face. Come here… No pressure… just breathe with me. Allow me to love u… allow me to remove the stress… [Verse 1] You ain’t gotta explain it all tonight I can read the way your shoulders sit That little sigh you tried to hide when your fingers touched your necklace Wine still waiting by the glass heels kicked off by the chair You been holding everybody else up but who been holding you there? I saw the crease between your eyes before you ever said a word Saw that smile show up late like it had been hurt So let the city keep on moving behind that window pane I ain’t here to rush your heart I’m here to take my time with the pain [Pre-Chorus] Let me turn the volume down on everything outside this room Let me put my hand right there where the weight been pressing you No fixing, no forcing no making you pretend Just lay that burden down, baby I know where to begin [Chorus] U need it… somebody who can touch your soul slow U need it… some peace when the world won’t let go U need it… a love that don’t ask you to perform Just fall into me, baby let me keep you warm Allow me to love u No pressure, no pressure Let the moment take over I’ll remove the stress, yeah U need it… and I found u right on time U need it… let me ease your body, ease your mind [Post-Chorus I found u… I found u… Mmm, no pressure… Let the moment take over… Allow me to love u… love u… love u… [Verse 2] You laughed when I asked if you ate then looked away too fast That told me more than answers could you been running on half Kitchen light was soft on your skin rain tapping slow on the glass I pulled your chair out closer to me didn’t even have to ask I know you’re used to being strong like softness costs too much But tonight you don’t owe nobody another piece of your love Let my voice stay low beside you let my thumb trace peace in your hand Every breath you give back to yourself I’m gon’ understand [Pre-Chorus 2] Let me take the edge off slowly let me move at your speed Nothing here needs proving nothing here has to lead Just your head on my chest my heartbeat doing the rest You been needing somewhere safe baby, I can be that address [Chorus] U need it… somebody who can touch your soul slow U need it… some peace when the world won’t let go U need it… a love that don’t ask you to perform Just fall into me, baby let me keep you warm Allow me to love u No pressure, no pressure Let the moment take over I’ll remove the stress, yeah U need it… and I found u right on time U need it… let me ease your body, ease your mind [Breakdown — No pressure… I ain’t asking you to be ready I ain’t asking you to be healed I just wanna sit inside this quiet till what you feel feels real Allow me… allow me… to love what the world kept rushing to hold what they kept discussing to kiss the worry off your name without turning love into pressure or pain [Bridge Let the moment take over let the night move slow Let the lamp stay burning let the rain keep falling low I’ll be patient with the places you don’t let nobody see I’ll love the guarded parts of you till they feel safe with me And when your eyes get heavy from the peace you forgot you had I’ll still be right here, baby not taking more than you have U need it… somebody who can touch your soul slow U need it… some peace when the world won’t let go U need it… a love that don’t ask you to perform Just fall into me, baby let me keep you warm Allow me to love u No pressure, no pressure Let the moment take over I’ll remove the stress, yeah U need it… and I found u right on time U need it… let me ease your body, ease your mind [Outro I found u… right where the night got heavy… I found u… before you had to break… No pressure… no pressure… just breathe, baby… Allow me to love u… allow me to love u… let the moment take over… I’ll remove the stress… I’ll remove the stress… Mmm… U need it… U need it… and I found u… right on time…
