Lyrics[]
[Verse]
I look in the mirror
All I see is nothing
I look out the window for some peace
But all I find is nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you take my hand and suddenly
I feel something
Side by side layin' next to you
I feel something
[Chorus]
All I need is you to protect me till tomorrow
All I need is some comfort from my sorrow
All I need is you to hold me through my nightmares
I need you to keep me safe from lions and tigers and bears
[Verse]
I look in the mirror
All I see is nothing
I look out the window for some peace
But all I find is nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you take my hand
And suddenly I feel something
Side by side, lying next to you
I feel something
[Chorus]
All I need is you to protect me 'til tomorrow
All I need is some comfort from my sorrow
All I need is you to hold me through my nightmares
I need you to keep me safe
From lions, and tigers, and bears
All I need is you to protect me 'til tomorrow
All I need is some comfort from my sorrow
All I need is you to hold me through my nightmares
I need you to keep me safe
From lions, and tigers, and bears
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you take my hand
And suddenly I feel something
Side by side, lying next to you
I feel something
[Chorus]
All I need is you to protect me 'til tomorrow
All I need is some comfort from my sorrow
All I need is you to hold me through my nightmares
I need you to keep me safe
From lions, and tigers, and bears
I need you to keep me safe
From lions, and tigers, and bears
All I need is you to hold me through my nightmares
I need you to keep me safe
From lions, and tigers, and bears
Trivia[]
- The SoundCloud post for the song was labeled "My first demo", implying it was the first (studio) song she recorded.
- Although reworked by the producer due to her becoming famous, this was done without her knowing and thus the song uses the original vocal recording session, as it was never re-recorded for the rework.
