About This Track

'Something You Needed' by flipturn is an alternative track from the EP 'Something You Needed - EP', released in 2020. The lyrics address Annika Rae over imagery of warmth in rain and honey-like love, then turn towards faith and doubt, with questions around protection and whether imperfection makes belief harder. A line about asking for protection and mentioning Jesus Christ gives the song a searching, prayer-adjacent tension, while the repeated uncertainty in the closing lines keeps it poised between longing and scepticism.

"Something You Needed" is a track by flipturn, from the album Something You Needed - EP, released 7th February 2020. The track is 3:18 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about flipturn.

Lyrics

Something You Needed

Annika Rae, there was warmth in the rain
Oh, and honey, there was love
In the hymns that you sang
When you asked for protection, did you get the breeze?
And did the imperfection make it hard to believe
In Jesus Christ?
When you were kind of hoping you might, you might

Oh, was it something you needed?
Is that what you thought, that life owed you love?
Well, God bless your heart, it never does

And when you cried for affection, did the dopamine tease?
And did you realize the rain could never be the sea?
Well, Jesus Christ, you may not survive
You may never, you may never know

Was it something you needed?
Is that what you thought, that life owed you love?
God bless your heart

You were gone and you had to see
Well maybe your love, maybe it was, maybe it's not enough to be

Was it something you needed?
Is that what you thought, that life owed you love?
Well, God bless your heart
