I worked on this track for a while and it finally came together.
It was written by myself (of course the hook is credited to the late Jeff Buckley) and produced by my friend Shadé "Sweet Keys" Joseph. It was recorded in London, England where I also shot the video.
The official release is out on Tuesday! I hope you dig it.
lyrics
Never get to be the one
Always on the sideline
Couldn't win the starting position on your team
And everybody's standing there
Standing in front of me
Oh I got the background scene on lock baby
But I didn't know I'd end up here
Way down here
Now I'm at the end of your line
I'm out of my mind
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks she needs you
I'll be waiting here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
They lay down their guards
And their bodies too
Hesitation
Cannot survive around you
Everybody here wants you
Thinking that they need you
They don't need you like I do
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks she needs you
I'll be waiting here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
I'm gonna save this love for you
I vow to prove that I am true
Everybody here may want you but
I really need you
I know you need me too
I know you need me too
I know you need me too
