Impossible Needs Lyrics

I collapse from working harder than...
The average work-aholic
I intend on reaching father than...
Infinity
To get exactly what I fight so hard and labor for
And crack the surface of what I intend to be
Not for you
You're too hard to please

Chorus:
How do I meet your impossible needs?
How can I reach with you pulling on me?
With your impossible needs
Impossible needs
How can I reach with you pulling on me?

I snap but still hang on
By the thread that you throw me
One hand to just hang on
And the other to catch me
One too many ticks
Past the second that you were so happy
I can't go back around again
Not for you
You're too hard to please

Repeat Chorus

In a round-about way, I'm better than this
But you keep me from taking a chance
On what I believe I am
And what you think makes me a man

Repeat Chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

ELIAS seems to be dealing with a couple of things, First, Some one who expects him to achieve, and strive farther then is humanly possible. Secondly, Is the idea that this person has made him question his own beliefs. He believes that all these things he's been doing make him a man, but the other person disagrees, and therefore, causes ELIAS to doubt himself. That's where the taking chances comes in. He's saying that he'd like to take chances, but his doubts are now holding him back. But the chorus seems to point to his resolution. ''"NOT FOR YOU, YOUR TO HARD TO PLEASE."' So, he's giving up on this person, and going to do things to please himself. MaggieMichelle
