I Need This Man

You walk in

Same old bar

Same familiar smile

Same old scar

We laugh too loud

You touch my hand

And I feel more honest than I ever planned

Tired of hiding in the punch-lines

Changing names when I talk about my life

I want a love I can stand beside

Say it out loud in the harsh daylight

I need a man, not a maybe

Someone who can hold me when it gets crazy

I need a man who will call me his

Say my name in the dark, with a real soft kiss

I need a man, not a cover story

Someone who can take me in all my glory

Looking at you I can barely stand

'Cause you make it so easy to say I need this man

You talk dreams

I talk fear

You say"try"

You pull me near

In your arms

Everything makes sense

I'm done pretending you are just a friend

I'm done shrinking down my lust

Hiding every truth in a passing thrust

If you feel the same heat on your skin

Baby

Let's make this fight a certain win

I need a man, not a maybe

Someone who can hold me when it gets crazy

I need a man who will call me his

Say my name in the dark, with a real soft kiss

I need a man, not a cover story

Someone who can take me in all my glory

Looking at you I can barely stand

'Cause you make it so easy to say I need this man

If I say it first

Will you say it back?

If I give you all

Will you hold it fast?

I'm right here

Shaking

Heart in my hands

Not asking for the world

Just asking for this man

I need a man, not a maybe

Someone who can hold me when it gets crazy

I need a man who will call me his

Say my name in the dark, with a real soft kiss

I need a man, not a cover story

Someone who can take me in all my glory

Looking at you I can barely stand

'Cause you make it so easy to say I need this man
