Send you a song from Timbuktu
Where the days are wrong and our pains are new
I could close my eyes and indulge this confusion
And let myself imagine you
But I needed you more
Oh I needed you more
Oh I needed you more than you know
To start anew
Send you a song from Timbuktu
As the morning fades and the silence blooms
With a word of hope
But there's just no reason to sing about love
'Cause I needed you more
Oh I needed you more
Oh I needed you more than you know
To start anew
To start anew
To start anew
To start anew
But every time I broke down and cried
I should've known that it was wrong
To be leaning on you
And God knows I was a fool
I toss and turn in my slumber like crazy
I feel the void of the hole in my soul
I'm on the run 'cause this game is not over
But this is a desert, a desert, my desert
Send you a song from Timbuktu
But the words came out wrong
And my voice is mute
'Cause I needed you more
'Cause I needed you more
Oh I needed you more than you know
To start anew
To start anew
To start anew
To start anew
To start anew
Take this burden off your back
To start anew
Free your lungs, they're filled with sand
To start anew
Break the ocean with your hands
To start anew
