All That I Needed Was You
Follow the freeway, get to a new day
Come back with my hat in my hands
I didn't tell you I'd try not to miss you
I'm running as fast as I can
And I hope I don't run into you coming my way
And I hope that I see you tonight
'Cause you can make everything suddenly okay
And you can make everything right
And I'll follow you over the hills of tomorrow
And right back to yesterday too
I was looking for something I thought that I wanted
And all that I needed was you.
Looking right through me I'd swear that you knew me
A stranger with lightning for eyes
Silver-blue with me I wish that you'd miss me
But I'll never ask you to lie
And I hope that someday I can see what you're seeing
And I'm wishing that you wouldn't mind
And I hope that I fill in a piece of your being
As some part of you becomes mine
And I'll run the cliffs over and fall down in clover
And swim through the lemming-filled sea
You were looking for something that you'd never thought of
And all that you needed was me.
And there's no way to know what will come with the dawn
As we keep moving forward I'll keep holding on
And I'll roll with the punches as long as I know
That something will never let you let me go
What I see in you I couldn't begin to
Describe if my words could all fly
No other spirit could ever come near it
And I wouldn't want them to try
And there'll be love forever although it may never
Grow past being loved in return
And we'll keep moving forward uncovering lessons
And helping each other to learn
And I swear that I'll never go back on forever
Every promise I make you is true
All you needed was someone to see deep inside you
And all that I needed was you.
