You Need Me - Nathaniel Rateliff

It’s like you’re telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»

Are you telling me now, in the middle of the set, it’s through?

Or did I walk by and I never saw it?

Maybe

Or I was reading my lines and I never heard my cue

Running to the top of the hill, then the hill starts over

You can bury yourself in the ground that you dug up

Now I was just contemplating, when do the tears dry up?

Far too easy to bait me, at least we shared the cup

Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?

Or are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «Fuck you»?

I’m the only one left on the sinking boat not believing

That you were calling from the water and screaming back, «It's true»

Start looking around and seeing it’s far too easy

You could lose a limb in a snare you set for yourself

Now don’t you try to fool me, when you’re dumb, you don’t fear as much

If it’s gonna be that simple, I’d rather do it drunk

Stumbling 'round until you’re queasy

You’re losing your hair, but you’ve got friends

And if it’s gonna be that simple

I’ve got a long way to go to never again

Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?

Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?

Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?

Are you telling me now, in the middle of the shit, «I need you»?
