"I Picked You Up" lyrics - JULIANA HATFIELD

There's nothing worse than a sad man alone
Who came from nothing and says he's done
A hotel is just a temporary home
Go into the light now

I picked you up 'cause maybe I'm what you need
You didn't know it but you were saving me too
Let's make some music and talk everything through
I picked you up 'cause I needed you

You fell in with a guy and a girl
Over coffee your story made her cry
You stopped looking, you stopped hoping
You stopped sleeping very well but don't say you didn't try

I picked you up 'cause baby' I'm what you need
Maybe you didn't know it but you were saving me too
Let's make some music and talk everything through
I picked you up because I needed you

You walked out the door and down the street
And you fell on your phone and I was suddenly there
Out of the blue and into the red
I saw your face and I knew it

I picked you up 'cause maybe I'm what you need
You didn't know it but you were saving me too
Let's make some music and talk everything through
I picked you up 'cause I needed you

I know who you are 'cause I know who I am
And my friend, I'm taking you home with me
Where you can finally sleep

I picked you up 'cause baby, I'm what you need
Maybe you didn't know it but you were saving me too
Let's make some music and talk everything through
I picked you up because I needed you
