I Need You Lyrics

When you're feeling like a lover
Nothing really matters anymore
I saw you standing there in the supermarket
With your red dress falling and your eyes are to the ground
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters when the one you love is gone

You're still in me, baby
I need you
In my heart, I need you

'Cause nothing really matters
I'm standing in the doorway
You're walking 'round my place
In your red dress, hair hanging down
With your eyes on one, we love the ones we can
'Cause nothing really matters when you're standing

Standing
I need you, need you

'Cause nothing really matters
We follow the line of the palms of our hands
You're standing in the supermarket
Nothing, holding hands
In your red dress, falling, falling in, falling in
A long black car is waiting…

Cover art for I Need You lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

This song is a perfect expression of the confusion, hopelessness and oppressive desperation of loss.

You never know when it will hit you: standing in the supermarket, walking round your place, holding hands; And you blame yourself, you thought you knew better, so much better; And you tell yourself just breathe, just breathe, 'cause nothing really matters; And you reach out to those around you, the ones you still can; And you say: I need you

Such a beautiful song, though it pains me to hear it

My Interpretation

@MorganMorgan this whole album is devastating..
