Needed You Still

[Verse 1] I've been travelling the wild Feel like the return I'ma go a little bit numb I feel so high High But I'm too far away Somewhere you won't hurt [Chorus] Where are you when I need you still? Will you be around? Where are you when I need you still? Will you be around? [Interlude] [Chorus] Where are you when I need you still? Will you be around? Where are you when I need you still? Will you be around? [Verse 2] Like the drums beat When I'm needing Like an old grandmama needing a sweater Sweat beading since you been away, internal bleeding Memories racing through my mind Pulled over by one time 'Cause they was speeding But one time we were greedy We were meeting, we were eating Miss me or miss me not Food for thought, we were feeding Romeo and Juliet, deadly plot We were praying to Jesus Better give us one more shot at playing boat or bird or dock So we can stand back in each others shoes Walk a mile instead of three thousand Jagged rocks and ragged socks As long as the world is not too lonely to look at clocks They remind me of how much time has passed Since we last took a walk Since I seen you last, the cat took my tongue Left me nothing to talk When I'm needing like the drums beating Needing you to bring back the chalk So we can outline the love Flirting with ash to dust Feel like a vast land between us A nomad feigning for romance and a bus I feel like the last man with no meaning My heaven been in hell for months I put faith in no man but in you, I trust Hell, they could hold you ransom for seven billion bucks I would pay with interest if it meant the angels would let you up If it is what it isn't, fuck a visit Do time in solitary time in solitary confined lock up If it came with a conjugal touch What is this? I mean, I'm in need of you I'm crippled, I need a crutch Since you been gone Cupid done tripled in this punch Butterflies too far gone to call home my guts All I got is some lines of poem And some etcetera such and such I'm a word but hard to recite I'm a bird but hard of flying I'm a dead man but hard of dying I'm addicted to holograms and reunited Or maybe the man the bag lady is finally finding Maybe Erykah Badu gon' make a remix called Maybe boat to you too heavy to be riding I'm six I'm at an autograph signing But nobody there to do the signing I'm lonely like Ginuwine without his pony I wonder if I'm the only So much distance, feel like we phoney Like we never really exist Like when we FaceTime you be like "who is this?' We stuck between a rock and a hard kiss Running out of luck with the hard kicks But when you were here, I was every king When you went away, I wasn't a thing I was a bad keyboard player Out of tune with God on the Lord's day Half the way not here, no more to say I always wonder when he jumped out the window that day If he thought 'dang, I shoulda stayed' I need you but it was too late I need you, how I feel when you in a different state I need you, feel like I jumped that same way I need back, back in the day when we was young Before you went away But I got hope we will rise again and repeat back to the one Like when Glasper played I'm done
