I Just Need Myself Lyrics

I'll die before I get to sleep
When screaming shadows haunt my dreams
I'm cold and soaking wet when daylight shows its face
This fear will always get in your way

And I can hear so much
That I miss it everyday
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane
I don't know too much but I know what I want to say
I just need myself

Please leave me when you see me fall
Oh please I have to climb that wall
And from the top of it you can nearly see your face
But don't let this ever get in your way

And I can hear so much
That I miss it everyday
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane
I don't know too much but I know what I want to say
I just need myself

Not going to walk on sinking sand
I'll sail this day to higher land
And when the sun is high, I let my music say
These things will never get in your way

And I can hear so much
That I miss it everyday
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane
I don't know too much but I know what I want to say
I just need myself

It's A Beautiful Thing

I'll die before I get to sleep 
When screaming shadows haunt my dreams 
I'm cold and soaking wet when daylight shows its face 
This fear will always get in your way

And I can hear so much 
That I miss it everyday 
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane 
I don't know too much but I know what I want to say 
I just need myself

Please leave me when you see me fall 
Oh please I have to climb that wall 
And from the top of it you can nearly see your face 
But don't let this ever get in your way

And I can hear so much 
That I miss it everyday 
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane 
I don't know too much but I know what I want to say 
I just need myself

Not going to walk on sinking sand 
I'll sail this day to higher land 
And when the sun is high, I let my music say 
These things will never get in your way

And I can hear so much 
That I miss it everyday 
It finds me deep in love and deeper down the lane 
I don't know too much but I know what I want to say 
I just need myself

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.
