If You Ever Need to Talk I'm Here - The Streets

By dawn I close the book or it will be dusk on the page

We’re beaten in the rainfall till there’s blood in the rain

I feel your eyes on me whenever I duck away from saying

Envy eats everyone like rust on the paint

I ran the platform but I end up stuck on the train

Fluke’s not a dude, yo, luck be a lady

If you ever need to talk, you know that I’m here

But there’s no way I’d say, yeah, let’s both be really clear

If I ever told you I needed you, I really needed you

If I told you I needed you and you weren’t there

When I told you I needed you, I really needed you

If you’re not here when I need you, I never need you again

There’s a different weed for every scene, there’s a plume for every mood

We partied on the train, we had to do in the tube

This story’s not mad, it’s really lunacy news

Your basic merchandise, a black Fruit of the Loom

Running to our deaths we all zoom to our tombs

This is not a nightclub, it’s a room with a queue

Please don’t give spoilers, I won’t give clues to the movie

There’s too many answers but too questions few

If I ever told you I needed you, I really needed you

If I told you I needed you and you weren’t there

When I told you I needed you, I really needed you

If you’re not here when I need you, I never need you again

We patch over a love triangle by sowing on a square

Not everyone’s a king, thrones are so rare

Download memes, laugh, decode and then share

Fast in a vacuum, but slow in the air

My worship needs a shape up, a blow dry for my prayers

Keep you the rosaries but loan me your prayers

Hold on to the job, no, throw out the career

Lead us not to temptation, we know our own way there

If I ever told you I needed you, I really needed you

And if I told you I needed you and you weren’t there

When I told you I needed you, I really needed you

If you’re not here when I need you, I never need you again

If you ever need to talk, you know that I’m here

There’s no way I’d say, yeah, let’s both be really clear

Been gambling on my own, playing poker for years

The river will drag you under when it looks to flow so clear

Wind never sings from afar, it only blows near

I hate you and I know you, but I just don’t know, dear

Fast days, they go so fast, but oh so slow the years

If you ever need to talk, you know I’m here

If I ever told you I needed you, I really needed you

And if I told you I needed you and you weren’t there

When I told you I needed you, I really needed you

If you’re not here when I need you, I never need you again

If I ever told you I needed you, I really needed you

And if I told you I needed you and you weren’t there

When I told you I needed you, I really needed you

If you’re not here when I need you, I never need you again
