All I Need Is You


Most say you need food and water to survive

But without you

I dont know how else to be alive 

Before you wiggled into my life, I was nothing

I was a vacant vessel strolling through life without another hand to hold

Every night before I went to sleep my heart always felt so cold

I met you and didnt understand why 

But I realize you are here to help me survive

If we were stranded in isolation 

I know it would be okay

Because you are the only one

Next to I would only want to awake

My love

Without you I would just be another lost unpaired soul

Just by finding another to love me 

Is the one and only part of me that makes me whole

Stumbling through a desserted island may freighten most

But for me, is it just another chance for us to be alone
