a cat on the ledge, before you were born
Hanging out on the street, an angel in heat,
Driving off in a car, so fast and so far,
I was living the lie, forgot how to cry,
can you see why I want you now?
can you see why I want you now?
tryin' to learn how to fight
I got my hands on the wheel
Learnin' to feel before you were born
so you know why I need you now
so you know I need you now
can't you see why I love you now
can't you see why I love you now
I was living in sin, trying not to fit in,
I was starting to see it was them against me,
I didn't act on a dare because I just
didn't care before you were born
I only wish I'd believed in someone
like me before you were born
now I know why you came my way
You got all, you got all that
Can't you see why I need you now?
Can't you see why I need you now?
