I Needed It Most Lyrics - My Morning Jacket

I needed it most, when I was eighteen 

But now that I'm older, I don't need many things 

Just someone to hold, that's what you give me 

When dark touches your skull babe 

Aw, baby you drop that on me 

So I say Lord, all the Heavens you've made 

Can't hold back the ghosts, that haunt my baby and me 

Oh can't you hold 'em back, from comin' on in 

To a lovely woman, that just wants her mind back again 

I cannot crumble, what you want this to be 

Or bring peace of mind, ain't there to see 

Aw, if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me 

But to have and to hold, yeah that's the way it's gotta be
