I Need You Most Of All

The song is sonically reminiscent of a 1950s "sock hop" record.

## Background

Hailey Maddock of *The Spectrum* reviewed it as "the combination of the sweet lyrics and Stephen's dreamy voice along with yet another beautiful high note [is] sensational".

Ellie Schofield of *Wildcats Wired* reviewed the song as "This track has such a classic vintage sound achieved by a high-pitched dreamy piano, deep background vocals, reverb guitar, and a drumbeat replaced by a clap. Sanchez’s vibrato vocals ripple over these musical elements in a seamless fashion".

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't need the air in these lungs

Don't need the rain or the sun

I just need your arms and permission to fall

For I need you most of all

[Verse 2]

I don't need these eyes they're too blind to see

Don't need more time or love songs to sing

I just need your arms and permission to fall

For I need you most of all

[Bridge]

Most of all on these lonely nights how I need you

Most of all in shadows on walls how I see you

It's only in dreams that I meet you

Don't wanna wake, but I need to

Still, I need you most of all

[Bridge]

It's only in dreams that I meet you

Don't wanna wake, but I need to

Still, I need you most of all

[Verse 3]

I don't need the stars for wishes to speak

Don't need the world or what Heaven could bring me

I just need your arms and permission to fall

For I need you most of all

For I need you most of all
