Far away from summer, but it's always on your mind
And when you want to feel it, well it's holding on the line
And if you want it, if you need it, then you gotta be around it all the time
But if it's only comfort, then you prod it when you like
'cause you need me
Yeah you need me
you need me around
You got another lover, he's the first to get it right
but other times the memories they permeate the night
you put your other under cover and you hide away the pictures of delight
You brush away the curtain, and you flash another sign
'cause you need me
Yeah you need me
you need me around
Somebody told me what it takes
what it takes to feel alright
it takes too long
Far away for many, but you got it in your mind
you keep me in your wallet, for emergency or lies
but if you want it and you need it then you gotta be around it all the time
a sprinkle of the minimum to string it over fine
and you need me
yeah you need me
you need me around
Far away from summer, it may never come around
you blow your icy breath at me and freeze me to the ground
I found the hidden little corners where you didn't wanna show me to the crowd
I'll pay the tab, you lend an ear, we'll end up feeling down
'cause you need me
yeah you need me
not near, but around
