When You Need A Friend
A Journey Through Friendship's Comfort
Lyrics
I wish I was there
I desire to be present
Holding your hand
Offering support by holding your hand
In the deep of the night
In the late hours of the night
When you need a friend
Especially when you're in need of companionship
Cause I know these last winters
Acknowledging the challenging recent winters
Have been hard on your soul
Difficult times affecting your inner self
It began from your cheeks
Starting from your face, troubles taking away your smile
Then your smile slowly froze
Your once joyful expression gradually fading
And I know that you feel
Acknowledging the sense of being unable to continue
You can't do this no more
Life becoming challenging and overwhelming
When your life skips a beat
When facing unexpected difficulties
It's the heart that keeps score
Challenges impacting the emotional well-being
There are long gloomy days
Enduring prolonged and dark days
And some cold-hearted nights
Nights characterized by emotional coldness
But soon you'll wake up
Hope for a positive awakening
And you're gonna be fine
Assurance that things will get better
Stumbling by chance
Revisiting a familiar place by chance
By our old secret spot
A location with shared memories
Where we used to play Dylan
Where Dylan's music was a part of our lives
Every day/night until dark
A routine from day to night
Now I know you were right
Recognizing the accuracy of your previous optimism
When you said with a smile
Recalling a statement made with joy
“This summer will be
Anticipating a memorable and joyful summer
The best of our life”
The expectation of the best season in our lives
And I know that you feel
Realizing the contrast with the present
This ain't true anymore
Feeling that the optimism is no longer valid
Your life has mistreated you
Life treating you unfairly
And your soul has kept score
Internal struggles accumulating over time
These are long gloomy days
Enduring extended periods of darkness
And some cold-hearted nights
Nights characterized by emotional coldness
But with a help from a friend
Expressing the potential assistance from a friend
You will take back your life
Regaining control and positivity with support
Remember that summer
Reflecting on a past summer memory
I got drunk, almost drowning
Recalling a moment of intoxication and vulnerability
You jumped in the water
A friend providing rescue in a challenging situation
Caught me breathless and laughing
Creating a vivid image of shared laughter and relief
And I'll never forget
Gratitude for a memorable supportive gesture
That helping hand
The enduring impact of a helping hand
So here I am now
Presenting oneself for support in return
When you need a friend
A reaffirmation of willingness to be a friend in need
