lyrics

In Daddy's car with three stoned friends and a fake I.D.
Fresh out of school, not a care in the world at all
In my 18th summer life never was so free
And it was just then that the chains began to fall
She was dark-haired she was wild-eyed
I was helpless and spellbound
What she made me feel was strange back then
But I know what it was now
Needed....Something ?bout needed Leaves every other word/Weak and small Needed...When you're really needed
You can rise to meet it/Or you can fall
For what happened next I offer no excuse
Maybe we were drawn to what our parents said was sin But in our passion we saw one clear thing to do
Throw ourselves at each other and caution to the wind
She longed to keep it, I said No
I had my future to think of
And in her darkest hour she learned What young men won't do for love
Needed...Something bout needed
Pointed straight at my freedom/Like a loaded gun Needed...When you're really needed
Some rise to meet it/And some of us run
Can you imagine all those years ago, how I thought I'd reached the end But passion cools, life goes on, and old wounds mostly mend
When your mom and I got married, such better days began
And when you were born is when I became a man
Where you're headed now's not really mine to say You've been more than patient hearing my story through But now you are 18 and on your way
There are some few simple things I wish for you
That you will steer past shallow freedoms As you follow your own star
And when your life is at its darkest Please remember that you are
Needed...Something ?bout needed
Leaves every other word/Weak and small Needed ...I hope you know that you're needed And that you'll rise to meet it/And never shall fall.
