When you need someone

When you need someone,
when you need someone,
when you need someone —
I will hear the call (x2).

You been caught in the light of a bad satellite,
and you’re walking in the night, you’re all wrong, not right.
You’re looking for a better way,
a getaway,
a rescue.

When the sky’s fallin’ in and you’re cutting it thin,
and you’re lickin’ up the pieces and startin’ again,
you gotta find a way —
a better way —
to kill the pain inside you.

You been looking for love in a wilderness,
in the shiny lights of excess.

When you need someone,
when you need someone,
when you need someone —
I will hear the call (x2).

They’ve been giving you flack and you’re giving it back,
and your life is a war and your heart’s on the rack.
You’re looking for a better way,
a getaway,
a rescue.

When emotions attack and you think you’re gonna crack,
and an icy finger runs up and down your back,
you gotta find a way —
a better way —
to kill the pain inside you.

You been looking for love in a wilderness,
in the shiny lights of success.

When you need someone,
when you need someone,
when you need someone —
I will hear the call (x2).
