Lyrics
I just need a reason
I'm seeking a reason
I just need to know what’s on your mind
Curious about what's on your mind
Tell me what you’re needing (needing)
Expressing a need for information or connection
You can call my name, I’ll be around
Feel free to call me; I'll be available
I can’t hold back ’cause I need you here right now (right now)
Unable to restrain emotions, requiring your presence immediately
Right now (right now)
Emphasizing the urgency of the current moment
And if the sky falls down I will keep you safe and sound (and sound)
Promising to provide safety and comfort if faced with challenges
Safe and sound
Reiterating the idea of being safe and secure
The sky is falling
Literal or metaphorical reference to a crisis or downfall
Dum, dum, da, da

Reassuring protection and comfort in the face of adversity
