Strangely out of place There's a light filling this room Where none would follow before I can't deny it burns me up inside I fan the flames to melt Away my pride Do I want shelter from the rain Or the rain to wash me way? [Chorus] I need you, I need you, I need you I need you, I need you, I need you You're all I'm living for I might sound like a fool But I think I felt you moving Closer to me Face to the ground To hide the fatal cut I fight the weight I feel you lift me up You are the shelter from the rain And the rain to wash me away I need you, I need you, I need you I need you, I need you, I need you (All I'm living for) I need you, I need you, I need you You're all I'm living for All I'm living for You're all I'm living for Face to the ground To hide the fatal cut I fight the weight Feel you lift me up Can't deny it burns me up inside I fan the flames to melt away My pride Only had a second to spare But all the time in the world To know you're there You are the shelter from the rain And the rain to wash me away [chorus] I need you, I need you, I need you (All I'm living for) I need you, I need you, I need you (All I'm living for) & I need you, I need you, I need you You're all I'm living for All I'm living for All I'm living for All I'm living for You're all I'm living for
