I need someone to hold my hand, while I cross the street
I need someone to tie my shoes
I need someone to give me food, before I learn to eat
I need someone to deliver me
I need someone to conceive of me, with a love they long to meet
I need someone to dream of me
I need someone to care for, to give them food to eat
I need someone to look up to me
I need someone to hate, an enemy to meet
I need to feel great
I need someone to fear me, someone that I can beat
I need to be alone
I need to be a monster, someone you fear to meet
I need to keep you safe
I need someone to sort this out, such confusion at my feet
I need to know which side you’re on
I need someone to lead me, someone I know won’t cheat
I need someone to trust
‘Cause I don’t trust myself no more —
I can’t keep it straight …
Do I need someone to love, or do I need someone to hate?
Will I have a purpose, if war there is no more -
If I don’t have to fight and strive …
To doubt, to fear, to kick and claw, just to stay alive?
I need someone, I need someone, I don’t want to be alone —
alone is what I fear…
I need someone, I need someone, someone to hold me near
Is it war outside, or war inside, that we have to best
or is it my own weakness that I have to fear?
I need someone, I need someone, just to make it here
I need a tribe, I need a home, I need someone to greet …
I need to be alone, alone with someone sweet
I need someone to walk this path, someone I’ve yet to meet
Scary as it may be to admit this to you …
I need someone, damn it, I need someone too
I need someone, I need someone, I need …
