Switchfoot - ⁠beloved lyrics

Maybe all the world is insecure Maybe all of us are looking for a cure Maybe something that can finally reassure, maybe We're chasing after money like a dog But the money's never gonna be enough No, it's never gonna take the place of love, maybe I'm still looking for the truth But I can't seem to find it in the news Maybe I'll start singing like the blues, maybe The days start feeling like the nights Like it's just another way to lose a fight Like I'm the only one who's looking for the light, maybe If only I could open up my eyes Would the truth be what would set me free? If only I could open up my eyes Would I see that maybe I need you Like you need me? And the new year dawns And the old year's drifting on and on Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun Everyday begins to feel the same Like I'm waiting on the wind to go and change But there's no one but myself to blame lately I'm staring and despairing on the screen Turning everything that's real into a meme But the feeds that I read don't feed me what I need Oh, if only I could open up my eyes Would the truth be what would set me free? If only I could open up my eyes Would I see that maybe I need you Like you need me? And the new year dawns And the old year's drifting on and on Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun And I still take a run To be somewhere that still needs broken, longing songs Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun Around the sun Around the sun Around the sun Ooh, ooh The questions that we're too afraid to ask 'Cause the present is the future of the past 'Cause the river is the same, but moving fast lately And maybe every other is a weed Maybe differences are easier to see Than a family we are that's underneath, maybe Like you need me And the new year dawns And the old year's drifting on and on Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun And I'm looking in your eyes I see reflections of the sea reflecting the sky (I see myself looking at you, looking at me looking up) The sky (I see myself looking at you looking at me) I start to recognize that I need you I start to recognize that I need you Like you need me Like I need you Like you need me
