Maybe I Need You

Maybe I need you
In this life I'm leading
To keep me from misreading
The signs you're giving off
Are yanking me everywhere
And I swear
This is getting hard to bare
But I try not to wear
Every emotion on my face
But at this pace
I'll run out of ink
To draw on the smiles
And I'm miles away from home
With no sense of direction
So maybe I need your protection
'Cause the security of you
Is the closes thing to perfection
That I'll ever know
Maybe I need you
Like a kite needs the wind to blow
Like cookies need milk
Like a clock needs its hands
My hands are getting lonely
And cold
I told them to be patient
That yours will come back soon
But even I know that's not assured
But I've endured
This much already
Inured by your games
That I choose to wait
I won't date another
I'm relying on fate
To create the spark we need
To light our lives on fire
Maybe I need you
To inspire your heart to tell your mind to shut up
To stop teasing your feelings
'Cause I know the strings of your heart
Are playing the soundtracks to our life
But you hafta sing the lyrics
Before the songs can end
I don't want this to be our end
If I could mend the broken words
Defend against the haters
I would find the greater good
In this mess
And express, confess, or
Empty my pink heart into your white paint
Because if I didn't know any better
I'd swear you were my Saint
Maybe I Need You
