Something I Need
Ben Haenow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind
And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you can tell
When I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well
And if we're only here once I wanna live with
You've got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we only here once (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)
You've got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we only here once (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you)
Last night I think I drank too much
Call it our temporary crutch
With broken words I've tried to say
Honey don't you be afraid
If we've got nothing we've got us
And if we're only here once I wanna live with
You've got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we only here once (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)
I know that we're not the same
But I'm so damn glad that we made it
To this time, this time, now
You've got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we only here once
I wanna live with you, yeah
You've got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we only here once (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)
You've got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we only here once (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)
And if we only here once (hey)
I wanna live with you
And if we only here once
I wanna live with you
The song "Something I Need" by Ben Haenow is a beautiful tribute to love and the special connection that exists between two people. The lyrics explore the idea that life is short, and that we should make the most of the time we have by spending it with the people we love. The singer starts by describing a dream they had about the brevity of life, and how they woke up feeling grateful to be with the person they love. They acknowledge that life can be difficult, but they also recognize that they have each other to rely on, like a "net under the ledge" when one of them feels like they're falling off the edge.
The chorus of the song is repetitive, but it reinforces the idea that the other person is the most important thing in their life. The singer says that they've found something they need in this world, and that there's only one person loving them. They express their desire to spend their one and only life with this person, and that they're willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.
Overall, "Something I Need" is a touching love song that speaks to the universal desire to find a companion to share our lives with. The lyrics are relatable and heartfelt, and the melody is catchy without being too saccharine. The song is a testament to the power of love, and how it can help us navigate the difficult times in life.

I had a dream the other night
I dreamt the other night
About how we only get one life
That life is precious and unique
Woke me up right after two
I woke soon after
Stayed awake and stared at you
So that I wouldn't lose my mind
And I had the week that came from hell
I had a really terrible week
And yes I know that you can tell
You can see it clearly in my face
But you're like the net under the ledge
You always support me
When I go flying off the edge
When I'm in danger of falling
You go flying off as well
You're always right there with me
And if we're only here once I wanna live with
I want to spend my one life with you
You've got something I need
I require something that only you possess
In this world full of people there's one loving me
Out of all the people in the world, only one loves me
And if we only here once (hey)
Since we only have one life
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)
I want to spend it all with you
Last night I think I drank too much
I may have had too much to drink last night
Call it our temporary crutch
It was just a temporary support
With broken words I've tried to say
I tried to express myself despite my incoherence
Honey don't you be afraid
Don't worry about anything
If we've got nothing we've got us
Even if we have nothing, we still have each other
I know that we're not the same
We're different in many ways
But I'm so damn glad that we made it
Despite our differences, I'm happy that we made it
To this time, this time, now
To this moment in time
And if we only here once
Since we only have one life
I wanna live with you, yeah
I want to be with you all through my life
