need you tonight...
Not doing much but drifting
not thinking much but feeling
lonliness, craving you
i need you tonight
your arm's round me
telling me everything's ok
even though we know it's not
i'm crying when i don't want to
you don't need to do anything
just hold me tonight
chase all my fears away

Nothing about me is typical
everything i do is unusual
chasing me apart from the rest
spending this life on my own
choosing the path that will keep me away
keep me alone
i can't allow myself to be hurt again
when there isn't much left to give
i need you tonight
wiping away these tears
i need you here, tonight i'm hurting
tonight i'm crawling, im pleading
take this hurt away


I can hold this in for so long
before the barriers are crashing down
taking me with them, crushing me
this is the worst of the silence
ten o'clock at night, and it's only just begun
i need you tonight, to prove to me a last time
that all this pain is worth it
i don't know how much longer i can wait
if the tears can hold be held back again
when it's the middle of the night
and i'm swaying on my feet
walking into the wall's
drifting through the hall's
out onto the freeway
with light's flashing by
blurring in the effect's of the wine
in my hand, i needed you tonight
but you couldn't be here...
