She said, "Every time I close my eyes I feel like I could disappear
I could overflow an ocean with the cavalcade of all my tears
And I know I sound dramatic, but that's just how it feels"

I just wanna be more than a drop in the sea

I've been looking for somebody to tell me that I'm real"

I just wanna be wanted (oh)
I could use a little love sometimes
I just need to be needed (oh)
Like to know I'm crossing someone's mind
I just wanna be someone that somebody needs
I just wanna be more than a drop in the sea

I just wanna be wanted
Oh yeah
We just wanna be wanted
Ooh

I just wanna be wanted
I could use a little love sometimes
I just need to be needed
Like to know I'm crossing someone's mind
