You're the Last Thing I Needed Tonight
Embracing Love's Shelter: A Journey Through Yearning
Lyrics
Now I don't need someone for new inspiration
Expressing independence from external sources for inspiration.
And I don't need a strong drink or two
Rejecting the need for alcohol as a coping mechanism.
No soft lights, music, or warm conversation
Listing things like soft lights and music that are not needed.
There's no substitution for you
Emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of the person being addressed.
Cause I've got all that I need to be happy
Contentment with current circumstances due to the mentioned love.
Cause your love makes everything right
Attributing a positive influence to the love of the addressed person.
You're the first thing that I'll need tomorrow
Anticipating the importance of the person in the future.
And you're the last thing I needed tonight
Highlighting the immediate significance of the person in the speaker's life.
You're the last thing I needed
Reiterating the central theme that the person is the last needed thing.
You always are
Affirming the consistent importance of the person.
I can't wait for the day to end
Expressing eagerness for the day to conclude, possibly to reunite with the person.
You're the last thing I needed
Repeating the idea that the person is the last needed thing.
To hold in my arms
Emphasizing the desire to hold the person in arms.
If I should never wake up again
Contemplating the importance of the person in the event of not waking up again.
Now I always find you
Referencing the presence of the person in the speaker's dreams.
Somewhere in my dreams
Continuing the theme of the person's presence in dreams.
And I know when I close my eyes
Emphasizing the certainty of the person's presence when eyes are closed.
You'll be the first thing that I'll need tomorrow
Connecting the person as the first need upon waking up.
And the last thing I needed tonight
Reiterating the immediate importance of the person in the speaker's life.
You're the first thing that I'll need tomorrow
Anticipating the significance of the person in the upcoming day.
And you're the last thing I needed tonight
Stressing the enduring importance of the person in the present moment.
