If I Needed You

I've gotten rid of my g(u)ilt and my lily white

And I've gotten used to an empty bed... sometimes

We used to be glowing

But I wouldn't be going now

If I needed you

If I needed you

Oh love, you know I could hold you long

But the holding has turned to lean upon

And I may be blowing it

But I wouldn't be growing now

If I needed you

I'll take this space in time

For what I need to say

Some race within the limit

Winning 'cause their needs are in it

Mine have always got in my way

But, I'll sing along to the life and times

Just go wandering alone and learn that I'm the guide

At least it keeps me believing

But I wouldn't be needing now

If I needed you

I wouldn't be bleeding now

I may be blowing it

But I wouldn't be growing now

I would be lying

But I wouldn't be crying now

This might be living

But I wouldn't be dying now

I may be blowing it

But I wouldn't be growing now

I would be lying

But I wouldn't be crying now

If I needed you
