Name: Need You Like
Duration: P00H02M02S
Description: "Need You Like" could have been a very different song. At first, the lyrics were reversed: "I went to bat for you..." but then my friend Blake (Blaketheman1000) suggested I switch it up, write myself in as the villain. I've always loved when old country songs do that, so I gave it a shot. It turns out to be a lot of fun—and it lead to a really exciting idea for a video.

lyrics

You went to bat for me
I triple-played a loner
Gift-wrap your heart, you’re sweet
I’ll pickle it with the others

Act like he’s so surprised
When he knew very well
She’s as sharp as a knife
Careful, you could cut yourself

I need your love just like
I need a hole in my side
Side

Lashes are growing long
I’m getting bored, and boreder
You wanna bet on it?
Bet it on your favorite number

You’d leave your will to me
I’ll leave you broke and pleading
Coax with a silver tongue
Chewed the sugar out of this gum

I need your kisses like
I give a shit when you’re crying
Crying
Crying
Cry
