Whatever You Need

I waited out front while you picked up the weed

At that all night tattoo place on East 17th

None of us tethered to home or to love

Just shots in the dark chasing all the above

How can I be what you need

How can I take the weight

And let you walk free?

Let me be your alibi

Let me be your place to cry

Whatever you need

You called from the hospital, said that you’re fine

Got a whole lot of friends talking bout the old times

You sit in the hall, they all sing along

Every word of that “Mabel Gray” song

How can I be what you need

How can I take the weight

And let you walk free?

Let me be your alibi

Let me be your place to cry

Whatever you need

And I know that I’ve been an asshole to you

All the late nights, the gaslights that I can’t undo

History pooling around me

I can’t touch the bottom

Smoke em if you got em

How can I be what you need

How can I take the weight

And let you walk free?

Let me be your alibi

Let me be your place to cry

Whatever you need

Whatever you need

Whatever you need
