North-bound train on a Saturday
Here I come, New York City
Been deep in thought, on a little sleep
Distance took my love away
[Chorus]
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love someone?
I stare at strangers subtly
Reading and softly speaking
When Princeton 'not sure what he says' sits by me
Sir, can I ask you something?
[Chorus]
Sometimes when there is no one
To love you back all the time
When you're in need
And desperate to fall asleep
Well ain't it wild, though aren't you tired?
Oh, isn't it making you lose your mind?
[Chorus]
Here I come, New York City
Been deep in thought, on a little sleep
Distance took my love away
[Chorus]
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love someone?
I stare at strangers subtly
Reading and softly speaking
When Princeton 'not sure what he says' sits by me
Sir, can I ask you something?
[Chorus]
Sometimes when there is no one
To love you back all the time
When you're in need
And desperate to fall asleep
Well ain't it wild, though aren't you tired?
Oh, isn't it making you lose your mind?
[Chorus]

This is my favorite song by The Starting Line. I'm surprised there aren't more comments. I think to some degree this rings true for us all. A person can have all the friends in the world, but if they have no one that loves them on that higher level, I think you can be the loneliest person in the world.
I love this verse: Sometimes when there is no one To love you back all the time When you're in need And desperate to fall asleep Ain't it wild? Oh, aren't you tired? Oh, isn't it making you lose your mind? Because it is so true. When you are going through a rough patch, all your troubles seem to plague you when you are trying to sleep (which consequently compound your problems, because you aren't getting enough sleep on top of everything else), but you just keep thinking of how it seems everyone else has someone except you and you are alone. Sometimes it is worse when you are thinking about the people you missed your opportunity with or had in the past. A very simple, yet nice song.

Such an intelligent, thought provoking song.
