[Verse 1]

Maybe all the world is insecure

Maybe all of us are looking for a cure

Maybe something that can finally reassure, maybe

We're chasing after money like a dog

But the money's never gonna be enough

No, it's never gonna take the place of love, maybe

I'm still looking for the truth

But I can't seem to find it in the news

Maybe I'll start singing like the blues, maybe

The days start feeling like the nights

Like it's just anothеr way to lose a fight

Like I'm the only onе who's looking for the light, maybe

[Pre-Chorus]

If only I could open up my eyes

Would the truth be what would set me free?

If only I could open up my eyes

Would I see that maybe I need you

Like you need me?

[Chorus]

And the new year dawns

And the old year's drifting on and on

Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun

[Verse 2]

Everyday begins to feel the same

Like I'm waiting on the wind to go and change

But there's no one but myself to blame lately

I'm staring and despairing on the screen

Turning everything that's real into a meme

But the feeds that I read don't feed me what I need

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, if only I could open up my eyes

Would the truth be what would set me free?

If only I could open up my eyes

Would I see that maybe I need you

Like you need me?

[Chorus]

And the new year dawns

And the old year's drifting on and on

Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun

And I still don’t think I’m wrong

To be so honest in these broken, longing songs

Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun

Around the sun

Around the sun

Around the sun

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]

The questions that we're too afraid to ask

'Cause the present is the future of the past

'Cause the river is the same, but moving fast lately

And maybe every other is a we

Maybe differences are easier to see

Than a family we are that's underneath, maybe

[Chorus]

Like you need me

And the new year dawns

And the old year's drifting on and on

Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun

And I'm looking in your eyes

I see reflections of the sea reflecting the sky (I see myself looking at you, looking at me looking up)

The sky (I see myself looking at you looking at me)

I start to recognize that I need you

I start to recognize that I need you

Like you need me

[Outro]

Like I need you

Like you need me
