Lyrics

Friends

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I need a hand, I need a hand

Can you understand, I got no plan

Lookin' for a new brochure, just starin' in the sand

In my defense, in my defense

I feel intense, it all makes no sense

I'm the one who runs in circles

Tell me how it went

I wanted you to make it slow

I wanna have a hand to hold

Now it's stuck in my throat

Wishin' that I'd blow

I try and try and get nowhere

I can't avoid and I can't stare

It's not my only thought

But I can't give it up

I've been away, I've been away

I'd like to stay, but can't get it straight

I saw you runnin' sideways so I hope it's not to late

I wanted you to bring me there

Drop me off, you know I'm scared

Not sure what I can bring, or if it means a thing

I wondered what I couldn't think

I was feelin' my heart sink

But couldn't shake it off

Mind was goin' soft

If you're here, if you're here

And I cruise in fear, then disappear

Even if you don't see me I promise I'll be near

I wanted you to lose control

I wanted you to hear my soul

And jumble things I've strained (?)

My mind goal wasn't reigned (?)

I broke it up to have some space

But nothin's fallin' into place

But I can't get upset

'cause I can't get it yet
