What You Thought You Need Lyrics

I think this song is about so much more than just a weekend trip somewhere. He wants a relationship or they're in a relationship but they have curves and bumps. It's like a car ride. She gives him a map to read, she gives herself to him. He reads it... he gives back. they're in a special place together... and no one else needs to be let in. Every relationship is like a road trip and the begining is like the picnic, a walk in the park. And the further into the relationship you are, the more in depth you get.
