Everybody Needs Someone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're staying up
We're gonna watch the sun come out
Everyone's here
There's silver slipping through the clouds
I pull this moment close
To stop me running out of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to patience, undefined
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
Hear this complicated heart of mine
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Verse 2]
That's all it takes
A simple little twist of fate
A little spark
Some strength to keep your heart from breaking when
You get so close
'Cause breaking comes and breaking goes
We're staying up
We're gonna watch the sun come out
Everyone's here
There's silver slipping through the clouds
I pull this moment close
To stop me running out of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to patience, undefined
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
Hear this complicated heart of mine
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Verse 2]
That's all it takes
A simple little twist of fate
A little spark
Some strength to keep your heart from breaking when
You get so close
'Cause breaking comes and breaking goes
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm holding on to patience, losing time
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
Hear this complicated heart of mine (Woah, oh)
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Bridge]
Yeah, we all need somebody
Yeah, I got you if you got me
Yeah, we all need somebody
Yeah, I got you if you got me
Yeah, we all need somebody
[Chorus]
All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone, oh-oh
All I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone
I'm holding on to patience, losing time
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
Hear this complicated heart of mine (Woah, oh)
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Bridge]
Yeah, we all need somebody
Yeah, I got you if you got me
Yeah, we all need somebody
Yeah, I got you if you got me
Yeah, we all need somebody
[Chorus]
All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone, oh-oh
All I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone
[Outro]
All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
We all need someone
All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
We all need someone

What did James Bay say about "Everybody Needs Someone"?
Genius Answer
I love this song so much. I know in hindsight that despite lots of fun work and touring back in 2019 I wrote this song because I was feeling lost and alone. The feeling came like a quiet tidal wave. It really threw me around for a while. But thanks to the people closest to me in my life, I made it through that time. They know how to hold me up when I’m down.
