Dear Prudence, open up your eyes.

All I Need by Mat Kearney

Here it comes
It's all blown into night
I woke up this morning
To a blood-red sky

Burning on the bridge
Turning off the lights
We're on the run
I can see it in your eyes

If nothing is safe
Then I don't understand
You call me a boy
But I'm trying to be the man

One more day
And It's all slipping in the sand
You touch my lips
And grab the back of my hand
The back of my hand

Guess we both know
We're in over our heads
We got nowhere to go
And no home that's left

The water is rising
On a river turning red
It all might be okay
Or we might be dead

If everything we've got
Is slipping away
I meant what I said
When I said, "till my dying day"

I'm holding on to you
Holding on to me
Maybe it's all going black
But you're all I see
You're all I see

Walls are shaking
Hear them sound the alarm
Last shift's breaking
So don't let go of my arm

Grab your bags
And a picture of where we met
All that we'll leave behind
Is all that's left

If everything we got
Is blowing away
We gotta rock in a rock
Till our dying day

I'm holding on to you
Holding on to me
Maybe it's all we got
But it's all I need
You're all I need

And if all we've got
Is what no one can break
I know I love you
If that's all we can take
The tears are coming down
They're mixing with the rain
I know I love you
If that's all we can take

A fool is running for miles
On the concrete ground
We're eight feet deep
In a rain still coming down

The TV's playing it all
Out of town
I'm grabbing at the fray
For something that won't drown
