anything you need but me
Let me say this one more time Just in case you didn't hear it right I'll put it in my own words So I'll know it's understood You sent me out on a limb You brought me home Sent me back again Out on that limb one too many times You should've known I'd learn to fly  [Chorus:] You can have anything on earth you need Anything that breathes you can surely still it's wings You can have everything on earth you see Anything on earth you need but me  You can have anything you need but me now Anything on earth you need but me  I'm shattered as the broken glass Around the wreck out on the tracks You had the very heart of me in your hands with honesty You rolled it up within your sleeve like a beacon Then you left it out In the cold and the rain I've picked it up and brought it home again  [Chorus]  It's time to move the lights are green After all it's love we need And if it doesn't dance and breathe Then it doesn't grow it seems My headlights catch you with my love upon your sleeve You're standin' still in the middle of this road It's time to pass you by and go  [Chorus]
