Everybody Needs Someone – English Lyrics

• By: Noah Cyrus, Vance Joy

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oceans in between us

Mars and Venus, so far apart

Hoping, just barely hoping

Bleeding and broken from open hearts

Take my hand if you can take me as I am, mmm

And take my love, if you can love me, that's enough

That's enough

But don't slip away before the dawn

Morning's about to come

And everybody needs someone

And I'll be here waiting

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah

Yeah, everybody needs someone

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah

Yeah, everybody needs someone

Some nights, you let your guard down

When the morning comes 'round, you come 'round too

But if you could see us from a distance

You'd know I've always been so close to you

Take my hand if you can take me as I am, mmm

Take my love, if you can love me, that's enough

That's enough

But don't slip away before the dawn

Morning's about to come

And everybody needs someone

And I'll be here waiting

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah

Yeah, everybody needs someone

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Yeah, everybody needs someone

Take my hand if you can take me as I am

Take my love if you can love me, that's enough

Take my hand if you can take me as I am

Take my love, if you can love me, that's enough
