I got a head full of dreams and time here to scheme
This ain't good, good
I'm thinking, you know, about what did and didn't go
Like it should, should

All of these expectations just mean my heart will be breaking
Oh, why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

I trouble with time but its will was not mine
There was no slowin' where it was going
The wishes I willed, all came back unfulfilled
I was praying without patience

All of these expectations just mean my heart will be breaking
Oh, why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

I keep calm, carry on, like nothing ever went wrong
That's what I'm gonna do, that's what I'm gonna do
Laugh it off, move along, get back where I belong
Live my life by leaning on you

Oh, lean on you, I'm gonna lean on you, yeah

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Oh, what I need, you give me what I need

Give me what I need

    I believe the artist is singing about someone who (like many of us) get wrapped up in their dreams/goals and their timing as well as their expectations and found disappointment. The person finds that the most peaceful place (and the best place 2 b blessed) is leaning and trusting in Jesus and His perfect provision and waiting on His perfect timing. He decides to let go of the past and his mistakes and to keep on, knowing that as they trust in the Lord, their best is yet to come. "Seek first God's kingdom and what God wants. Then all your others needs will be met as well." Matthew 6:33. "Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you what you want. Depend on the Lord; trust him, and he will take care of you." Psalm 37:4-5
