Exactly What I Needed - Michael Rault

Close my eyes Yeah, I still think of you sometimes The way you put your hand in mine So much I didn't know Time moves fast But images of you they last Decisions that I can't get past So much I didn't know I should have listened when you told me But I didn't know Paid attention when you showed me How it's gonna go You were the one that I wanted But I didn't know what I needed Know what I needed to be I turned myself into a person That I didn't know Tried to act like it was worth it But it was for show You were the one that I wanted But I didn't know what I needed Know what I needed to be I'm walking 'round like I'm just fine But it's a hurricane inside Will you ever know? Call you up I feel like we don't talk enough But somehow I always say too much Just hang up the phone I should have listened when you told me But I didn't know (didn't know) Paid attention when you showed me How it's gonna go You were the one that I wanted (wanted) But I didn't know what I needed Know what I needed to be I turned myself into a person That I didn't know Tried to act like it was worth it But it was for show You were the one that I wanted But I didn't know what I needed Know what I needed to be Yeah, I still think of you sometimes The way you made me lose my mind Whatever, whoever you what me to be Whatever, whoever you what me to be Whatever, whoever you what me to be I should have listened when you told me But I didn't know (I didn't) Paid attention when you showed me How it's gonna go You were the one that I wanted But I didn't know what I needed Know what I needed to be I turned myself into a person That I didn't know Tried to act like it was worth it But it was for show You were the one that I wanted But I didn't know what I needed Know what I needed to be

In the evening, put my feet up on my window sill Sleep starts to creep up and my day is done All the good fun's been had As the stars shine through my window Colour smoke clouds start to billow In my mind I, my my, the time slips away If the night should choose to take me And the morning sun doesn't wake me Then I'll bed back into the black where I came from But if the stars shine through my window Colour smoke clouds start to billow In my mind I, my my, the time slips away

Time travels forwards I'll carry on Waves of indecision As I sit and write this song Leaves hang down over the water as the river flows Each passing day and moment knows not where it goes I'm travelling over and under, sitting still alone Asked if I should stay on another day, yeah In a hazy voice, I answer to listen clear If all the rightful moments that direction cause to steer Make nose patiently waiting as the nation slowly nears I'm travelling over and under, sitting and waiting here
