I Need You Lyrics
I've dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can't see
And I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made from what
I've just let pile and pile up
I have not been abandoned
No I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything
Everything I need
Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the walls
And you can hear my distant calls
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out "someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back!
I have not been abandoned
no I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything
Everything I need
I need you
I need you now
When my hopes seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
And read my words there on the beach
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything
EVERYTHING!
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
Cause you're everything
EVERYTHING!
EVERYTHING!
Searching for something I can't see
And I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me

No I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything
Everything I need
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the walls
And you can hear my distant calls
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out "someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back!

omg i love this song! this is obviously about calling out to God cos he cant save himself. this should silence the critics who've sed these guys have gone secular
This song absolutely rocks! I love it! They are crying out to God that they need him. This has to be my favorite Relient K song yet. I have felt very much this way before, so it is so cool to have a song from my favorite band that's about it.
This is how I'm hearing it:
I've dug up miles and miles of sand Searching for something I can't see I've just got bruised and battered hands And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls I did create From all the earth that I've displaced A mess that I have made from what I just left high and piled up
Explore the cave that is my chest The torch reveals there's nothing left Your whispers echo off the walls And you can hear my distant calls
I can't hear the part in the bridge though =/ Amazing song, though.

I left out all the 'woah-oh-oh' things.
People commenting with lyrics pisses me off like nothing else. You're just writing down what you heard, the same way I did. When the album comes out, I'll buy it and fix the lyrics to what they say in the booklet. For now, stfu.
Calm down buddy. We're just trying to fill in the question marks.
I love the song, it makes me look forward to the cd even more than I have been. I think the song is clearly about the need for God in our lives. Also that God is always will be there for us, as Matt says he has not been abandoned.
relient k=amazing, as always. you have no idea how excited i was when i heard about the new CD. blahhh :]]]
THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME!!!!! An up-beat song with a truly astounding meaning!
I believe the meaning is PROCLAIMING that we need Him, Jesus Christ. I think this new cd coming out on March 6, 2006, is going to be AWESOME... another song that is good is "forgiven"
LOVE THIS SONG
