I Just Needed A Friend Lyrics by First Aid Kit

The Lion’s Roar

2012

[Verse 1: Klara & Johanna]
So I could just sit here listening to the breeze
Say we're all gonna die that curable disease
So I'm ready to be taken wherever it takes me to
But I'd rather just sit here waiting for you
[Pre-Chorus: Klara & Johanna]
So look, see here, this is all that I am
Some amateur painting in a golden frame
Forgive me, forgive me is all I have left
I guess I just needed a friend
[Chorus: Klara & Johanna]
Words that once sounded sweet to my ears
Hold me close, I am full of these fears
Here where I stutter and shake
Only a mistake
[Verse 2: Klara & Johanna]
Now we can play dress up, yes, I'll play the part
I'll stand up and laugh at my own frightened heart
Haha, haha, ain't it absurd how things can turn?
It's these kinds of nights I forget the lessons I've learned
[Pre-Chorus: Klara & Johanna]
So look, see here, this is all that you are
I tried to find out how broke down these walls
I'm sorry, I'm sorry it had to be that way
I guess I just needed a friend
[Chorus: Klara & Johanna]
Words that once sounded sweet to my ears
Hold me closer, I am full of these fears
Here where I stutter and shake
Only a mistake
[Outro: Klara & Johanna]
Words that once sounded sweet to my ears
Hold me close, I am full of these fears
Here where I stutter and shake
Only a mistake
