Everybody has an unmet need
Something that they want just out of reach
It's what makes the best movies
The kind of leading role played by Meryl Streep
They say there's only nine plot lines
Every story follows one or is two combined
I'm loathe to categorize mine
A tragicomedy set to lazy rhyme

But to need is need
And so very different from a want
Another painful reminder that you're
Just a little bit fucked up
It's like a love that will never love you
No matter what you say or what you do
The father that never sees
The person that you grow into
I see you, though
I see you, though

Everybody has an unmet need
Something that they want just out of reach
It's what makes the worst crime scenes
Blood-spattered lovers' infidelities
They say there's only two motives
Not getting what you want and losing what you got
Greed, anger, pride, jealousy, revenge
Those nasty little things that push you to the edge
But to need is need
And so very different from a want
Another painful reminder that you're
Just a little bit fucked up
It's like a love that will never love you
No matter what you say or what you did
The father that never sees
The person that you grow into
I see you, though
I see you, though
I see you, though
I see you, though
I see you, though
Everybody has an unmet need
Something that they want just out of reach
It's what makes the best movies
The kind of leading role played by Meryl Streep
