Chris Smither – Never Needed It More Lyrics

You know If love is the meal for the hunger you feel,
call for the waiter.
We're all gonna feed on whatever
we need sooner or later.
I just stay out of my way.
I call for the check when I'm ready to pay.
The bill's for the faith or the will,
whichever is greater.

CHORUS Tell me how does it happen?
I can't tell you for sure,
but I don't think I ever needed it more

Cuz now it's two for the show
they all wanna know
how did you meet her?
I think it was luck,
she fell off a truck,
from there it was follow the leader.
I saw her walkin' alone,
I treated her nice and she followed me home.
There was nobody there to tell me
that I couldn't keep her.

CHORUS (variant) Tell me how did it happen?
I can't tell you for sure,
but I don't shut my tail in the door any more.

CHORUS

You know it's only a scene,
the play is the dream,
the bigger the better.
What can I say,
when she's writin' the play, I'm gonna let her.
I just believe in the role.
I open wide and it swallows me whole.
The take is the give,
and the give is the way that I get her.
