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
