I Picked You Up - Juliana Hatfield

There’s nothing worse than a sad man alone

Who came from nothing and says he’s done

A hotel is just a temporary home

Go into the light now

I picked you up 'cause maybe I’m what you need

You didn’t know it but you were saving me too

Let’s make some music and talk everything through

I picked you up 'cause I needed you

You fell in with a guy and a girl

Over coffee your story made her cry

You stopped looking, you stopped hoping

You stopped sleeping very well but don’t say you didn’t try

I picked you up cause baby' I’m what you need

Maybe you didn’t know it but you were saving me too

Let’s make some music and talk everything through

I picked you up because I needed you

You walked out the door and down the street

And you fell on your phone and I was suddenly there

Out of the blue and into the red

I saw your face and I knew it

I picked you up 'cause maybe I’m what you need

You didn’t know it but you were saving me too

Let’s make some music and talk everything through

I picked you up 'cause I needed you

I know who you are 'cause I know who I am

And my friend, I’m taking you home with me

Where you can finally sleep

I picked you up 'cause baby, I’m what you need

Maybe you didn’t know it but you were saving me too

Let’s make some music and talk everything through

I picked you up because I needed you
