beloved

Maybe all the world is insecure, maybe
All of us are looking for a cure, maybe
Something that can finally reassure, maybe
We're chasing after money like a drug, but the
Money's never gonna be enough, no, it's
Never gonna take the place of love, maybe

I'm still looking for the truth, but I
Can't seem to find it in the news, when it
All starts singing like the blues, maybe
The days start feeling like the nights, like it's
Just another way to lose a fight, like I'm
The only one who's looking for the light, maybe

If only I could open up my eyes
Would the truth be what would set me free?
If only I could open up my eyes
Would I see that maybe I need you like you need me?

And the new year dawns
And the old year's drifting on and on
Like my doubts in orbit around the sun

Every day begins to feel the same, like I'm
Waiting on the wind to go and change, but there's
No one but myself around to blame lately
Staring and despairing on the screen, turning
Everything that's real into a meme, but the
Feeds that I read don't feed me what I need

If only I could open up my eyes
Would the truth be what would set me free?
If only I could open up my eyes
Would I see that maybe I need you
Like you need me?

And the new year dawns
And the old year's drifting on and on
Like my doubts in orbit around the sun
And I still don't think I'm wrong
To be so earnest in these broken, longing songs
Like my doubts in orbit around the sun
Around the sun, around the sun, around the sun

The questions that we're too afraid to ask, 'cause the
Present is the future of the past, 'cause the
River is the same but moving fast, lately
Maybe every "other" is a "we", maybe
Differences are easier to see, than the
Family we are that's underneath, maybe
Like you need me?

And the new year dawns
And the old year's drifting on and on
Like my doubts in orbit around the sun
And I'm looking in your eyes
I see reflections of the sea reflecting the skies

(I see myself, looking at you)
(Looking at me, looking at)
The skies (I see myself, looking at you)
(Looking at me, looking at)
I start to recognize that I need you
I start to recognize that I need you
Like you need me

Like I need you, like you need me
