NEED YOU
One Step Away Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring out the window,
Watching the faces pass me by
But where are your green eyes?
You haven't been around in a while
It's been ages since I've seen your smile.
Its all flipped around, which way is up and down?
Where are you now?
I wish that when I looked up at the bright blue sky
That I could be as happy as the birds flying by

I need you,
You need me too
I need somebody to catch me when I fall
Someone to hold me when I call
And after all we've been through
I need you

I tried to forget the world,
but it's so hard when the world is you
I need your help
But you said that we're through
No more cars to be chased,
No more flying in space,
Just days, days put to waste

I feel you lying next to me
I open my eyes but I can't see
It was all just a dream
Even with all I say
You still push me away
I want you to stay
Just stay





I need you
You need me too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of One Step Away's song "Need You" depict a sense of loneliness and longing for someone special. The song starts with the singer looking out of the window and watching people go by but feeling incomplete without the person they desire. They express their longing for this person and how much they miss their company. However, the lyrics also suggest that this love might not be reciprocated anymore, with lines like "But you said that we're through." The singer admits that they need someone to lean on when they feel weak and to hold them and make them feel secure. The chorus brings back the essence of the song, emphasizing the singer's heartfelt desire for the other person to be with them, as they think that everything would feel alright together.


The second verse reveals that the singer has been trying to move on, but it hasn't been easy for them to forget their former partner. They express feeling the other person's presence next to them, even when he isn't there. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to be with the other person but their advances are getting pushed away because something has gone wrong between them. Nevertheless, the singer reiterates that they need this person, and the world feels different without them. The lyrics leave a sense of sadness and a feeling of the struggle of moving on from someone who once meant the world to you.

Staring out the window,
Looking outside aimlessly through the windowpane


Watching the faces pass me by
Observing individuals passing away from my sight


But where are your green eyes?
I miss the distinctive emerald eyes that you possess


You haven't been around in a while
It has been a long time since we last met


It's been ages since I've seen your smile.
I am yearning for seeing that beautiful smile of yours


Its all flipped around, which way is up and down?
Everything seems to be in a state of confusion, and I cannot figure out the right orientation


Where are you now?
I am clueless about your whereabouts


I wish that when I looked up at the bright blue sky
I desire to be ecstatic like the birds soaring in the airy sky


That I could be as happy as the birds flying by
It would be great if I could achieve the ultimate bliss that flying birds exhibit


I need you,
I cannot survive without you


You need me too
You also require me in your life


I need somebody to catch me when I fall
I am looking for someone who can support me whenever I stumble


Someone to hold me when I call
I need a shoulder to cry on whenever I need it


And after all we've been through
Considering all our shared experiences


I need you
I need you to be with me


I tried to forget the world,
I attempted to escape from reality


but it's so hard when the world is you
It's challenging to distance myself from you because you are my world


I need your help
I need you to assist me


But you said that we're through
You ended our relationship


No more cars to be chased,
No more chasing cars together like we used to do


No more flying in space,
No more exploring the universe together


Just days, days put to waste
All we have now is ordinary days that seem meaningless


I feel you lying next to me
I sense your presence beside me


I open my eyes but I can't see
Despite looking, I cannot visualize you


It was all just a dream
It seems like it was just an illusion


Even with all I say
Despite attempting to convince you


You still push me away
You still deliberately keep me away from you


I want you to stay
I want you to remain with me


Just stay
Please stay with me
