I've been running from the quiet all my life

Thought the emptiness was just the price

Then you sat across from me and didn't say a word

And somehow that was everything I'd heard

 

And I don't know how to say this right

But every time I think about my life

It starts and ends with you

 

It starts and ends with you

You're all I need

You're all I need

When the world falls away

 

You're all I need

You're all I need

You're all I need

 

At the end of every day

 

You're all I need

 

All I need

All I need

 

You don't try to fix the broken parts of me

Just sit beside them quietly

Nobody ever did that

Nobody stayed that still

Now I understand what people mean by real

 

The morning light across your shoulder blade

The coffee cup you always leave half made

The little imperfections I have memorized

The whole world living in your tired eyes

 

And I don't know how to keep you here

But I know the thought of you not near

Is something I refuse

Is something I refuse
