Lyrics
I took five on the way home Called you for a little piece of mind Was out lookin' for some healin' But it seemed a little hard to find No man's an island, do you not see that I need you As you need me? A year, month, any weekend Is no match for my loyalty I'm sweet, jumping to your defence Question, would you do the same for me? They say distance can make the heart grow fonder But for you, I wonder 'Cause if I'm not by your side Are you still on mine? I was on the way down I've been on my knees this whole week So when I need you most Will you be my echo? I was feelin' drowned out Searchin' for some sweet relief So when I need you most Will you be my echo? (Will you be my echo?) You don't have to move a mountain Just take a little weight off me Fix up and be about it 'Cause my love is not a one-way street They say distance can make the heart grow fonder But for you, I wonder 'Cause if I'm not by your side Are you still on mine? I was on the way down I've been on my knees this whole week So when I need you most Will you be my echo? I was feelin' drowned out Searchin' for some sweet relief So when I need you most Will you be my echo? Will you be my echo? Will you be my echo? Will you be my echo? I was feelin' drowned out Searchin' for some sweet relief So when I need you most Will you be my echo?
