I Need You
Yearning Echoes: Embracing the Depths of Connection in Elderbrook's 'I Need You'
Lyrics
Do you love me that way, me that way, me that way
Expressing uncertainty about the depth of love, seeking confirmation.
And if I jump, do I sink, do I swim, do you save me?
Pondering the consequences of taking a leap in the relationship.
Or would you turn, turn away, turn away and forget me?
Questioning loyalty and the possibility of being forgotten if vulnerable.
There's no way, ain't no way, ain't no way how to say it
Emphasizing difficulty in finding words to express feelings.
Out loud
Acknowledging the challenge of vocalizing emotions openly.
Do you need me like I need you now?
Inquiring about mutual emotional dependence.
Do you feel it creeping out?
Sensing a gradual revelation of emotions.
You're the reason that my head spins 'round
Attributing a dizzying effect on thoughts to the person being addressed.
Do you need me like I need you now
Reiterating the importance of mutual need.
'Cause I need you
Declaring a personal necessity for the other person.
And I need you
Repeating the declaration for emphasis.
I'm not the same, not the same, not the same, but the only
Highlighting a change in oneself but still relying on a particular love.
Love I need, love I need, love I need, well, if only
Expressing a singular need for love despite the changes.
But you could see, you could see, you could see, you could see me
Desiring recognition and understanding from the other person.
Oh, believe, oh, believe, oh, believe, oh, believe me, me now
Urging belief in the sincerity of feelings.
Do you need me like I need you now?
Repeating the question about mutual dependence.
Do you feel it creeping out?
Sensing the gradual emergence of emotions again.
You're the reason that my head spins 'round
Linking the other person to a spinning sensation in the head.
Do you need me like I need you now
Reiterating the importance of mutual need.
'Cause I need you
Reiterating personal necessity for the other person.
And I need you
Emphasizing the ongoing need for the other person.
'Cause I need you
Repeating the declaration of need.
And I need you
Stressing the ongoing and persistent need for the other person.
