"What I Need"

I got a head full of dreams and time here to scheme
This ain't good, good
I'm thinking, you know about what did and didn't go
Like it should, should

All of these expectations
Just mean my heart will be breaking
Why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day
Even in a hurricane

You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much
Even when I'm down to dust

I troubled with time but its will was not mine
There was no slowin' where it was going
The wishes I willed, all came back unfulfilled
I was praying without patience

All of those expectations
Just meant my heart was breaking
Why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day
Even in a hurricane

You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much
Even when I'm down to dust

I keep calm, carry on
Like nothing ever went wrong
That's what I'm gonna do
That's what I'm gonna do

Laugh it off, moving on
Get back where I belong
Live my life by leaning on you
Lean on you, I'm gonna lean on you, yeah

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day
Even in a hurricane

You give me what I need
Even when it's way too much
Even when I'm down to dust

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day
Even in a hurricane

You give me what I need
Oh, what I need, what I need
Oh, what I need
