I Need Direction Lyrics

I used to feel fine
You were to be mine
I need direction
To take me to you

I've asked the sunshine
Shadowed the skyline
I need direction
To take me to you

I get brainwaves
I get visions
Slow reaction
Superstition

I need the ways and means to get through
I need an open heart to look to
Nobody sees the same way I do
I need direction to get through

Followed the ley lines
The faded out road signs
I need direction
To take me to you

I get spellbound
I get visions
Slow advances
Indecision
I need the ways and means to get through
I need an open heart to look to
Nobody sees the same way I do
I need direction to get through

Honest I'd feel fine
If you were to be mine
I need direction to take me to you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Teenage Fanclub say about "I Need Direction"?
Genius Answer

“I Need Direction was written on bass, which resulted in a chord structure I would probably never have come up with. Mostly I use a Spanish guitar.” – Gerard Love, 2002
