you

when the rain just pounds on the pavement
when the windows cloud out the night
and when i cry till i lose all my reasons
all i see is you

when my heart beats hard but helpless
when my body chills to the bone
and when i feel small as a leaf in the forest
all i need is you

friends could try to cheer me up
if i could make them see
but how can they hope to understand
what still amazes me?

when the music drones like traffic
when the walls close in on me
and when i know that i'll always be lonely
all i want is you
