Flowers Need Rain
Preston Pablo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴'Cause I need you like the flowers need the rain
I need you like the sun when the clouds turn gray
Oh, you're like the blood running through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away (yeah, Banx & Ranx)
Sometimes I feel so lonely
Feels like there is no one around to hold me
And my head gets dark and heavy
And I can only hope for the best
And I can only breathe with my chest
One step at a time, oh, you take me
You're leaving me blind, but don't leave me
'Cause I need you like the flowers need the rain
I need you like the sun when the clouds turn gray
Oh, you're like the blood running through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-whoa-whoa
One step at a time, oh, you take me
You're leaving me blind, but don't leave me (don't leave me)
You turn the noise into silence
I hid from your violence
But now I won't run away
You take the dull and make it vibrant
I could stay forever, baby
And I can only hope for the best (for the best)
And I can only breathe with my chest
One step at a time, oh, you take me
You're leaving me blind, but don't leave me (no, no)
'Cause I need you like the flowers need the rain
I need you like the sun when the clouds turn gray
Oh, you're like the blood running through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-whoa-whoa
One step at a time, oh, you take me
You're leaving me blind, but don't leave me
I need you like the flowers need the rain
Need you like the sun when the clouds turn gray
Oh, you're like the blood running through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away
