Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
With all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

You're the hope that moves me
To courage again, oh yeah
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do




I need you
I need you

I agree and for the commitment to allows be fair equal and range for each other's comfort .. compassion and truth on see ones feelings as if they were their own ..bc in their marriage you can tell it's one heart they share
..on vision
The same sound
They sway bc they are equally in that space together
That's the eyes on love
And the sound of marriage..
It's my dream
My fantasy
My goal
