Not the Same
I really need you
Today
More than yesterday
Or the day before that
I need you more
Right now
Than I did
Only a moment ago
I just need to see you
Smile again
Even if it is
Only a one time deal
I don't know why
I feel like this
So, what explanation
Can I give?
I need some shelter
From this storm
Some sweet grace
A quiet repose
I need your love
More than anything...
Well, look what I got
Dreams in my hand
Memories in my heart
I've got nothing I need
For my soul
I've got wishes
Which have been passed over
Lying dead in my coat
I'm starving
For knowledge
And aching for life
'Cause that spark
Is gone
That kept me alight
So, I'm stuck with
What I've got
Which is a whole lot
Of nothing...
You were the one
Who held me
Through the storms
You were the one
Who always quieted my fears
And no one can do that
Quite like you can...
You were always there
To save me
From others
From myself
Maybe it was intuition
Or maybe it was just
Good luck
Or good timing
All I know
At this moment
Is I want to see
Your face
Hear your voice
Feel your touch
I need you to hold me
To tell me it's alright
With all the things
Happening
Right now
In my life
I need some comfort
Some reassurance
I need to reach out
And touch something real
I wish you were here...
To tell me it's alright
That it'll all be okay
Even if it is a lie
I just need to hear it
But the only thing
That I'm hearing from you
Is your voice
In my heart
Speaking softly
Saying dialogues
That are written in my memories
I need you
Right now
And you don't even know it...
I keep hearing your voice
In my heart
But it's just not the same
