American Aquarium - All I Needed Lyrics

I turn the radio on
And out comes a song I didn't recognize
The way the singer was singing
My heart was connected, I was hypnotized
How can something that I've never heard in my life
Pull me back into the light

It's a time, it's a place
A lyrical sucker-punch to the face
I was running on empty an life was really getting me down
It was a hook, it was a line, it was a savior in ¾ time
I was out there losing my mind
When all I needed was a song

It was a spiritual change
I'm no longer the same. I've turned a page
In one afternoon
A three minute tune was my coming of age
In it's transformative power I began to devour every pain staking word
