It's been so long since I told you
How much it is that I want
But when you were listening in honest
I could hardly breathe when I spoke

Now that I'm older I'm wiser
I've lived long enough just to know when I'm sinking

But oh, it can get me so down
Lonely, and lonelier now

Who am I to think that you owe me?
Like you know what will make me feel well
I need you still to talk to me
But somewhere I lost all forgiveness

Can't civilize it
Christianize it
All the hurt that has hooked to my heart
I need you still, I need you still, I need you still
I do

One more day to roll the dye
Caffeinated promise avert
The things that I told you, the ways that I showed you
Faces and makeup and dirt

No more lies, I've seen them all
Glisten and shine on the shelf
I can be someone, you can be someone, I can be someone else

Oh, it can make me slow down
Oh, think I've worn myself out

I can still hear things that you told me
As you cried on the living room couch
Oh I need you still to talk to me
I need you still to know
I memorized them
All your faces
All the ways that you're hurting yourself
Oh I need you still, I need you still, I need you still
I do

I know this might hurt you
But I want (but I want)
To show you how I would do as a vagrant
Out of this town on my own

Oh I want it all
I have seen it through
For every house left behind
Inherit a hundred things new

I can see you there
Laughing in the summer heat
And my speech impaired
God, oh God, take me

Middle children lift up your heads now
Come uncover the ways we were wrong
This song, it is our elegy
To things we don't dare say aloud

Don't criticize us, sympathize with us
All the ways that we're hurting ourselves
We need our fill
Can't wait until
It's all downhill if not

In us instill
We need God's will
We need You still
We do
