Rivers Cuomo
Everybody Needs Salvation
[Verse 1]
Meet me in the dark
My heart shrivels when the light is shining
I can't get back home alone
I need someone here to guide me
Praise for the awakened one
He truly saved my life
But after all his truth is small
And I love the lie

[Chorus]
Everybody needs salvation
And if it doesn't come we make some
Some people can get by on nothing
But I still need to know I'm something

[Verse 2]
Just like in a dream I scream
And no one hears the words I'm saying
Have I lost my mind this time?
Or have I won the game we're playing?
That's all I really care about
It's kind of wonderful
Kiss me while we both are still intangible

[Chorus]
Everybody needs salvation
And if it doesn't come we make some
Some people can get by on nothing
But I still need to know I'm something
Yes I still need to know I'm something
[Verse 3]
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to give my heart
I'm ready to trust you
'Cause I ain't afraid of the dark
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to give my heart
I'm ready to trust you
'Cause I ain't afraid, I ain't afraid of the dark!

[Chorus]
Everybody needs salvation
And if it doesn't come we make some
Some people can get by on nothing
But I still need to know I'm something
