lyrics

You’re a magic act
Or a small black cat
You could disappear at a drop of a hat

And while we drank
And plugged our nose
You played it straight couldn’t let it go – all alone

Everyone needs someone

You joined the service
When you finished high school
And I felt nervous I was losing you

I holed up inside
And admit I cried
Three weeks later you came back I didn’t ask why oh why

Everyone needs someone
Somewhere to go and to belong

Right when you didn’t know what to do
The seasons died and you tried something new
You opened up and love it found you
So surprised

Holes in your pocket
Where the money falls through
I made a promise to look after you Everyone

Everyone needs someone
Somewhere to go and to belong
Someone to hold when you think you’re lost
