[Intro] [Verse 1] Would you leave me at a doorstep full of snakes? Would you let me wander into towering flames? Would you hold my hand right up to the gate, And let me go if I said that it was my fate? [Pre-Chorus] To walk alone Down certain roads It is known that Sacrifice Is essential to love... [Chorus] I need you. Even if sometimes It's from a distance. I see you, Turn away, never watch, But you always listen... [Break] (I need you) (I see you) [Verse 2] Would you shield me from all that presses close? Would you keep me safe from the whispers in the shadows? Would you hold me down, wrapped up in your light, And absolve me, turn my shames to right? [Pre-Chorus] I've made mistakes, Buried them inside. It is known that Hope Is essential to love... [Chorus] I need you. Even if sometimes It's from a distance. I see you, Turn away, never watch, But you always listen... [Break] (I need you) (I see you) [Bridge] If the ground fell out from underneath my feet, If my heart forgot how it was supposed to beat, I know you'd be the echo in the dark, The only fire that could ignite a spark. [Heartfelt Banjo Solo] [Final Chorus] I need you. We can finally close This aching distance. I love you. Now I'm looking back, now I watch, And now I finally listen... [Outro] (I need you) (I love you)
