Sixteen never came   He just wanted to be understood   His mother knew his name   But never found the time to love her son   Of all the things in the world      We just need someone   We are more than wandering lives, shadows in the dark   We all need someone to carry each other through it all   Everybody needs someone      She was twenty three   When she lost herself out to the streets   Red light nights just to survive   All she wanted was a friend to talk to late at night   Of all the things in the world      We just need someone   We are more than wandering lives, shadows in the dark   We all need someone to carry each other through it all   Everybody needs someone      All the things in the world   All the dreams in the world      We just need someone   We are more than wandering lives, shadows in the dark   We all need someone to carry each other through it all   Everybody needs someone
