Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You keep it simple at the start

And never question things too hard

Shouldn’t shock you when you’re down this far

[Chorus]

I’m not asking for a fix

I just need you close to reach

When I can’t stop myself at all

When I don’t lean on you I fall

Every single time I’m wrong

Every selfish trip I’m on

If I don’t lean on you I fall

[Verse 2]

When I think I’m so messed up

And when you think you’re so messed up

Gotta keep in mind that we’re just us

[Chorus]

I’m not asking for a fix

I just need you close to reach

When I can’t stop myself at all

If I can't lean on you I fall

Every single time I’m wrong

Every selfish trip I’m on

If I don’t lean on you

If I don't lean on you I fall

[Bridge]

If I can’t lean on you I fall

[Verse 3]

I’m hoping for the perfect day

When I look into the right face

And really mean it, saying “I’m okay”

[Chorus]

I’m not asking for a fix

I just need you close to reach

When I can’t stop myself at all

If I can’t lean on you I fall

Every single time I’m wrong

Every selfish trip I’m on

If I don’t lean on you

If I don't lean on you I fall
