Every single time I see you I start to feel this way 
Makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again 
There's a picture that's hanging in the back of my head 
I see it over and over 

I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then 
I want to need you ́cause I need to be with you ́til the end 
Then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it 
This time, tonight 

If only I had the guts to feel this way 
If only you'd look at me and want to stay 
If only I'd take you in my arms and say 
I won't go 'cause I need you 

'Cause I need you 

I sit here waiting, wondering, hoping that I'll make this right 
'Cause all I think about is your hands 
Your face , and all these lonely nights 
There's a feeling that's screaming in the back of my head 
Saying over and over 

I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then 
I want to need you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end 
Then I hear myself reply she'll never let you in 
This time, tonight 

If only I had the guts to feel this way 
If only you'd look at me and want to stay 
If only I'd take you in my arms and say 
I won't go 'cause I need you 
Please don't go 'cause I need you now 

I want to hear you say 
It will always be this way 
We will be hand in hand for every night and every day 
I want to scream and shout 
'Cause I'm losing any doubt 
And all I care about is you and me and us and now 

If only I had the guts to feel this way 
If only you'd look at me and want to stay 
If only I'd take you in my arms and say 
I won't go 'cause I need you 
Please don't go 'cause I need you now
