We all have moments where we wish we could hand over the reins to someone else and let them take the helm for a while. Unfortunately that's just not an option. What we can do is surround ourselves with a few good people who can look past the impossibility or enormity of things and gently guide us back on course.
Lyrics
Holding on to thoughts from far too many years before
Holding on to thoughts I know I don't need anymore
A perfect storm of interwoven under-action
And time keeps ticking by
I need a friend who can tell me it will be alright
I need a friend who can tell me to pick myself back up again
I need a friend who can tell it will be just fine
I need a friend who can lie
Overanalysing every single interaction
Over compensates for lack of meaningful distraction
Burnt to the core but fuel is sourced from somewhere higher
Almost year without you has gone
I need a friend who can tell me it will be alright
I need a friend who can tell me to pick myself back up again
I need a friend who can tell it will be just fine
I need a friend who can lie
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend who can tell me what to say
Who can write the words tell me what to play
Tell me where to go, tell me who to see
Help me find a better version of me
Can stay up all night
Can fulfil my dreams
Can be anything that they'd like to be
Can live without fear
Can be young and free
So long as they lie, lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
I need a friend who can tell me it will be alright
I need a friend who can tell me to pick my feet back up again
I need a friend who can tell it will be just fine
I need a friend who can lie
