Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sit down close my eyes and listen to that melody
And when I open my eyes, Jesus is next to me
I'm praying to you Lord and asking for some quiet time
I don't know what to do and ask you to give me a sign
I'm not the perfect guy, I mess up all the time
And pray that you build me into something greater
And it will change my life for the better
He told me
Always call me when you're falling down
Have faith in me and you're life will turn around
Jesus is all I need
I'm in a lot of pain and stress, I need to meditate
I cannot carry all this weight, it's hard to demonstrate
But when I say the word, Jesus is by the gate
My God is the most high and his story will soon be told
He loves and cares about you and he has a hand to hold
He is the saviour, thank you for being bold
He said that he'll look after me and my family
And he has something special soon for all the world to see
And it will change our lives forever (and ever)
He told me
Always call me when you're falling down
Have faith in me and you're life will turn around
Jesus is all I need
I have a million things to do I find it hard to breathe
I sit down close my eyes and listen to that melody
And when I open my eyes, Jesus is next to me
He told me
Always call me when you're falling down
Have faith in me and you're life will turn around
Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need oh
He told me
Don't let your hearts be troubled and know
That I am with you always, spread the word, go
Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need

I'm going anyway
I don't care about traffic rules, I'll take my chances anyways
I took one too many / Now I cannot feel my face
I consumed too many drugs and have lost touch with reality
Shadow getting heavy / I think that I need a break
The shadows of my problems are weighing me down and I need a break to deal with them
Seventeen with a dream to get rich by myself yeah
When I was young, I had aspirations to become successful on my own
Trappin' out the basement hardly worrying bout my health yeah
I was selling drugs out of my basement and didn't care about the negative impact on my health
And I do too many drugs people say that I need help
I am addicted to drugs and people are telling me that I need help
But you know Imma miss all of the memories we share
Although I don't care about my ex-girlfriend, I will miss the memories we had together
You know I hate the lies that's why I'm getting high
I hate the deceit in my life and that's why I resort to getting high
I've been tested too much / I think I need some space
I've been through a lot of emotional tests and need some personal space to recover
Late night thinkin' bout her / Bottled up all of my pain / And it drives me insane
Late at night I think about my ex-girlfriend and the bottled up pain drives me crazy
Getting your love must be a boss level / My life's just a game
Winning your love is a difficult level to achieve in the game of life
And I don't wanna live / If Imma live my life in pain
I don't want to live if my life will always be filled with pain
Don't know where I've been lately yeah (Going MIA)
I've been absent lately and I don't know where I've been going
