lyrics
I need a girl with an imbalance
A bad habit like a talent
Cuz all I feel is malice
And I just want to feel gallant
I need a stage with a microphone
To keep me going strong
So I don’t feel so alone
So I can carry on
I need a crowd to sing along
With hearts on their sleeves
So I can write a song
For someone else but the trees
I need a pen and paper
To write down my reprieve
Cuz life is too short
To live every day so carefully
I need that feeling in my chest
The kind where I can’t rest
That feeling you call wired
I call that shit inspired
I need the blood in my veins
To be warm to the touch
To remind me why I rap
To remind me why I give a fuck
I need my head to be a mess
Cuz I work better with dysfunction
But it leaves my life a wreck
But I guess that’s how I function
I need you to hold me close
And tell me everything will be fine
Because I’ve never been good
And living through my own lines
I need you to see me for who I am
Friend, lover, hopelessly manic
Cuz we all need a plan
We can’t all be hopeless romantics
I need to not be so tragic
And smile a little more
That doesn’t sound so drastic
And doesn’t feel like a chore
I need to open my eyes
And learn to live a little bit
Take one day at a time
And not stress over stupid shit
I need to take a deep breath
Take a second and just rest
Live life in the moment
Cuz that’s all we ever get
I had a girl who made me balanced
A bad habit like a talent
But all I felt was malice
Even though she made me gallant
