And you just don’t understand me that’s cause you don’t take the time
Don’t fuck with all the explaining cause you always say the same lies
I give a fuck bout the scene
I give a fuck bout who you know
I give fuck bout the stories
I give a fuck bout where you go
I give a fuck bout who you fucking as long as you keeping it low
Now you say you need me you ain’t need me before
I been trying to take it take it easy you know
Backing out nah I ain’t tapping out
I just needed someone I can vibe with
I just needed someone to get high with
I just needed someone I can fall for
[x2]
I only trip when I’m drunk
All this shit girl that I’m on
Don’t care bout what I need
But you always get what you want
I know that you hate it home so you come over to see me
That nigga be stalking you he ain’t got shit to offer you
And you know that that’s how I feel I can’t control that
You brought some weed then we can blow that
Fuck you good and never hold back
Let that nigga know you found some new love, yeah yeah
Let that nigga know you found some new love, yeah yeah
I just needed someone I can vibe with
I just needed someone to get high with
Exploring Vulnerability and Desire
Bryson Tiller’s “Need Someone” delves into the complexities of modern relationships, highlighting the struggle to feel truly understood. The lyrics reveal an emotional disconnect, with Tiller expressing frustration over repeated misunderstandings and insincerity. He voices his indifference towards superficial aspects of his partner’s life, emphasizing a desire for honesty and discretion. The refrain, “I just needed someone I can vibe with,” underscores a longing for genuine companionship and shared intimacy, rather than drama or pretense.
Seeking Authentic Connection
The song’s verses paint a picture of escapism and self-medication, as Tiller admits to only “tripping” when intoxicated and feeling neglected in his own needs. He recognizes the unhealthy patterns in his relationship, yet remains drawn to the comfort and escape it offers. Ultimately, “Need Someone” captures the tension between wanting something real and coping with the disappointments of love.
