I Needed You Then, I Need You Now - Nothing But Thieves

Wake up, the planet aches almost instantly

But those precious few seconds before, they feel like gold

I didn't feel right, I leaned too hard on you

And God, it wasn't fair, but babe, it's just the truth

And it covered me like Sun, the burn dug in too deep

I just couldn't help but let it all in, I let it all in

I watched the change, I watched me change from the start

Head chemical turned me to something that I'm not

I needed you then, I need you now

I need you now

Hold up, this granite grief is dragging me to sleep

And I've been dreaming of losing you almost every night

I didn't feel right, I wore love like a stain

I dropped years of my life like the Tokyo rain

And it bled into the house, untethered me from the Earth

It stopped me from giving you what you deserve

What you deserve

I watched the change, I watched me change from the start

Head chemical turned me to something that I'm not

I needed you then, I need you now

I need you now

Same old mistake, same old mistake you keep exploring

Wouldn't it be worth being somebody worth adoring?

I needed you then, I need you now

I need you now

And I rounded the bend, sunrise into view

An arms length response, I dreamt myself brand-new

A dog looking at itself, not sure what it was worth

I'd die just to give you what you deserve

I watched the change, I watched me change from the start

Head chemical turned me to something that I'm not

I needed you then, I need you now

I need you now

Same old mistake, same old mistake you keep exploring

Wouldn't it be worth being somebody worth adoring?

I needed you then, I need you now

I need you now
