Needs

Everybody has an unmet need

Something that they want just out of reach

It's what makes the best movies

The kind of leading role played by Meryl Streep

They say there's only nine plot lines

Every story follows one or is two combined

I'm loathe to categorize mine

A tragicomedy set to lazy rhyme

But to need is need

And so very different from a want

Another painful reminder that you're

Just a little bit fucked up

It's like a love that will never love you

No matter what you say or what you do

The father that never sees

The person that you grow into

I see you, though

I see you, though

Everybody has an unmet need

Something that they want just out of reach

It's what makes the worst crime scenes

Blood-spattered lovers' infidelities

They say there's only two motives

Not getting what you want and losing what you got

Greed, anger, pride, jealousy, revenge

Those nasty little things that push you to the edge

But to need is need

And so very different from a want

Another painful reminder that you're

Just a little bit fucked up

It's like a love that will never love you

No matter what you say or what you did

The father that never sees

The person that you grow into

I see you, though

I see you, though

I see you, though

I see you, though

I see you, though

Everybody has an unmet need

Something that they want just out of reach

It's what makes the best movies
