Sometimes a song just hits the right spot with people. “Hold On” is a simple little love song that we released a couple of months back, and it’s had an unusually good run on SoundCloud. It’s like “the little engine that could”. It just keeps on keeping on. By now, without any help from anywhere, it’s had 2,320 plays, which is pretty remarkable, I think.
The track we released last month, “We Needed Us”, is also a simple song about love, and relationships not being about one person, but about both people supporting each other – or not, as it sometimes happens. I think it can resonate with just about anyone who listens to it. The lyrics in the chorus go, “If I were you, and you were me, then where were we, when we needed us?” The image on the cover is of hands in a gesture of begging – and a heart symbol fading away – or solidifying – in the palms.
Sean Berchik wrote the intimate and candid lyrics, and he is the lead vocalist. So, here you go – a tender love song with the most heart-meltingly gorgeous vocals, in time for Spring that’s just arrived. Enjoy.
Cōdae presents – We Needed Us
Lyrics – We Needed Us
In a broke down house
In a torn-up chair
Faded pictures
On the floor down there
In the morning rush
I’ll see you there
Aren’t years enough?
Thought I didn’t care
Shed my skin
So many times since then
Last time we touched
Were we even there?
When you know
In your bones
You know
What you left behind
Blood red roses
Blood drenched thorns
Bloodshot eyes
If I was you
And you were me
Where were we
When we needed us?
If I was you
Yeah, you were me
Then where were we
When we needed us?
A spineless book
Every single page
Held together by
the one who reads
Rushing like fools
to love the rush
Oh the time it took,
The times we made
Picking out drapes
for our gilded cage
No precious jewel
eclipsed your touch
When you know
In your bones
You know
What you left behind
Blood red roses
Blood drenched thorns
Bloodshot eyes
If I were you
And you were me
Then where were we
When we needed us?
If I was you
Yeah, you were me
Then where were we
When we needed us?
If I was you
Ah, yes, you were me
But where were we?
We needed us
