This device in my hand, well it does not understand
How I need to talk with you, how I need you now.
Even the mobilest phone will leave you exactly alone
When the sea decides to commandeer the land.
Oh, everyone needs a home, everybody needs a place to go;
A sympathetic ear when you're on hold, oh, oh.
Every girl needs a roof and a bed and a bright, bright light
That she can turn off at night
And fall asleep with the love of her life.
A catastrophic, lonely collapse;
A conspiracy of maps;
Sweet Louise, two days from side to side:
Daunting, dear, it's true
But this flood will not keep me from you.
Pull my picture from your wallet now and sing!
Well, everyone needs a home, everybody needs a place to go;
An FEMA trailer does not ease the blow, oh, no.
Every boy needs a roof and a bed and a bright, bright light
That he can turn off at night
And fall asleep with the love of his life.
Everyone needs a home, everybody needs a place to go;
A sympathetic voice when you feel alone.
All I need is a roof and a bed and a bright, bright light
That I can turn off at night
And fall asleep with the love of my life.
I'll fall asleep with the love of my life.
