E v e r y t h i n g   I   n e e d 

So I used to have a friend who always listened when I whined

and another who would hold my hand as we silently passed the time

and I’d always know just who to call when I needed a laugh

and my mother when I was younger gave me comfort in the bath

and I was happy having lifelines by the pack

the one that had today’s best news and the one who cracked my back

but when you and I met up we both agreed

you provide me with everything I need

There was the friend to call for board games on a rainy day

and I always knew who to count on for dinner and a play

after mundane days she was the one to help stir up the night

and he’d always have my back if there was ever need to fight

and I was happy having lifelines by the reel

still I’m better now to have you here to know just how I feel 

and the downsize came as no surprise to me

cuz you provide me with everything I need 

And I can’t pretend that this exists for everyone around

but I do thank god most every night for this love that I’ve found

and a friend that I can count on to never leave my side

to stay with me in bed today and in 60 years as I die

you’re my life my love the air I need to breath

in fact you provide me with everything I need
