lyrics

day turns cold
but you know there’s a turn that will come and warm it
so I’m told
you can wait to be changed or you can transform it
tell me more
so I can decide if I’ll climb outside
give me hope
so I’ll rise above
I know I can’t hide it

I need love
I need love like a rocket
blasting off, getting much too high
I can change
I can change the world with
you close to me by my side

pain is real
but you never know how to go about it
it makes you feel
like you’ll never be able to live without it
tell me more
so I can decide if I’ll climb outside
and give me hope
so I’ll rise above
I know I can’t hide it

I need love
I need love like a rocket
blasting off, getting much too high
I can change
I can change the world with
you close to me by my side

now what you may feel you may not know
but there is a place where you can find it
it won’t take long if you wanna go
you might get lost but you won’t mind it
mind it - no you won’t mind it

I need love
I need love like a rocket
blasting off, getting much too high
I can change
I can change the world with
you close to me by my side

But Fetner seems most natural fronting The Strays, a rangy and loose-limbed rock ‘n’ roll ensemble that’s built for a good time: Swirling Hammond swells, greasy Tom Petty-isms, bubbly pep — these are the calling cards of a songwriter built to bridge crowds. edited, Free Times ... more
