Dessel: Need You Now
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
They looked so happy together in the pictures of the past. So, so happy...
What went wrong?
Reachin' for the phone 'cause
I can't fight it anymore
He shouldn't. His hand was so close the the small device on his bed side. He really wants to...
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
Does he cross Del's mind? His constantly wanders towards his ex-lover. What was wrong with him?
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control and I need you now
The clock said 1:15 in the morning. He should get some sleep, he had rehearsal in the morning after all...
Oh, fuck it. He clicked Del's number.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
No answer.
He tried again. And again. And again...
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop lookin' at the door
This was a mistake, drinking his sorrow's like this...but Del wanted to feel nothing so he continued to drink himself into a stupor. The bartender kept shooting him knowing looks as his eyes constantly darted towards the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping
In the way you did before
This used to be their place. It was where they came every date, every chance they could...and he wanted Russel to come through that doorway so, so bad...
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
They were both hurting and thinking of the other, so far apart. They needed each other in their lives, but they didn't know if things could ever go back to the was they were before.
It's a quarter after one, I'm little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control and I need you now
His finger itched over the call button, but he couldn't bring himself to hit it. He laid his head on the counter, his vision blurring from the drinks. He registered his phone vibrating again and again but couldn't muster the strength to answer.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Tears weld up in Russel's eyes as he finally laid his phone down.
Yes, I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
He dragged himself to his feet and grabbed his coat and keys of their respective hooks.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
He knew where Del was and that's where he drove. He needed the other in his life and couldn't bear the pain anymore.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
The patrons all looked up as he entered, the door swinging wildly behind him as he searched desperately with his eyes.
I just need you now
Oh, baby, I need you now
Del slowly raised his head and their eyes met.
