I need a bed
That nobodyâs slept in
I need some air
That nobodyâs been breathing
I need a thought
That I can believe in
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning
I need you now
Much more than ever
Iâm making new friends
But none of them matter
Maybe now
We donât fit together
But youâve got your arms around
No one but strangers
(chorus)
I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When I âm falling out of this sky
Iâm doing better than I thought I would
But nothingâs ever as good
As when youâre on top
I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
Where no onesâs been gettinâ
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone whose price hasnât been met
When everybodyâs disappearing
By the minute
There isnât anyone left
That I havenât met yet
Well I remember
When they hadnât gotten to you yet
(chorusx2)
(bridge)
Half way up
And over this rainbow
I heard a shot
Fire up from the ghetto
As I drop
I didnât think youâd follow
Just didnât know ..............
The sky was this shallow

play around with those notes.
I need a garden
Where nothings forbidden
I need an apple
That no oneâs been eatinâ
I want to start again
Back at the begininâ
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending
