About Your Needs, My Needs

“Your Needs, My Needs” is about the loss of a relationship after someone has left. The track depicts two versions of the same story, offering a hopeful and angry view. Kahan added that “Your Needs, My Needs” is “a song about Zoloft” (i.e. about depression) before playing the track at the Live from Fenway show, hinting that his experience of the loss led him to mental health struggles resulting in the need for the anti-depressant. .

Your Needs, My Needs Lyrics

[00:14.35] Oh, well, who was I?
[00:18.36] Who was I to watch you wilt?
[00:22.79]
[00:25.71] You ain't gotta tell me what it means
[00:31.78] Trace the outlines of your dreams
[00:37.07] You'll always be a flower on my skin
[00:43.79] And the pain that I am in
[00:49.21] Mm
[00:52.00] It's all the same
[00:57.22] The losin' touch, the waiting game
[01:02.01]
[01:05.50] Across that county line
[01:09.77] I promised to be there this time
[01:14.62] Alright?
[01:17.18]
[01:25.33] You were a work of art
[01:29.36]
[01:31.45] That's the hardest part
[01:36.40] Howlin' like dogs in the light of the moon
[01:41.61] Holdin' our breath after 132
[01:46.74] You asked me why I wasn't saying a word
[01:51.80] I'm naming the stars in the sky after you
[01:57.34] I was a work of art
[02:02.72] That's the hardest part
[02:07.17] To spiral out, to try and float
[02:12.01] To see a friend, to see a ghost
[02:16.93] Bitter-brained, always drunk
[02:21.52] Rail-thin, Zoloft
[02:26.23] Subtle change, shorter days
[02:30.71] Dead-eyed, dead weight
[02:35.54] Your life, your dreams
[02:39.98] Your mind, your needs
[02:44.60] And my needs
[02:47.95]
[02:51.88] And your needs, and my needs
[02:57.74]
[03:03.58] I spiral out, try and float
[03:08.65] You see a friend, see a ghost
[03:13.14] To see a ghost, to see a ghost
[03:17.79] To see a ghost
[03:19.82]
