Need Somebody
Words and Music by Matt Nightingale

© 1998 A Little Nightingale Music (ASCAP)

I never wanted to be, to be lonely, and I
I never wanted to need somebody
But I am lonely and I, I need somebody
Tonight

I always thought that I was self-sufficient, and I
I fought the monsters with my own weapons
But I am frightened and I, I need protection
Tonight

What causes me to feel I’ve lost control?
What makes me wonder who is holding my soul?
Could it be that I am frightened by my own depravity?
I’m not afraid of what’s outside of me

My eyes are open and my, my hands are wrung out
My neck is sore from all the tension
So give me peace, Lord, from the storm
Tonight

The demons bicker and they, they drive me mad, and I
I want them out so very badly
So find me, Jesus; cast out my devils
Tonight

I know what I can be when I’m alone
I’m still that same man when everyone comes home
Could I bleed a little, hurt a little, pay a little more?
I know that’s not what You came here for
