Turn to a Friend
Navigating Life's Turmoil: Embrace the Solace of Friendship
Lyrics
Life can take the strongest man and make him feel like a child
Life's challenges can humble even the strongest individuals, reducing them to a vulnerable state.
With nowhere to go and no place to hide, this is all so damn wild
Feeling lost and exposed, the chaotic nature of life is emphasized.
Some will come along to say I'm there, but really it's pretend
People may claim to be supportive, but it could be mere pretense.
To take advantage of the good things, and be gone in the end
Warning against those who exploit positive situations and disappear when things get tough.
A friend won't look you in the eye and say I'm walking out your door
A true friend won't abandon you or deceive you like others may have done.
Cheat and lie, make me cry like all the other girls before
Highlighting the pain caused by betrayal and dishonesty in relationships.
All it takes is just a phone call, and they'll always comprehend
Reassurance that real friends will understand and support you with just a phone call.
When your GPS of life shuts down, just turn to a friend
Metaphorically, turning to a friend is like finding direction when life's navigation fails.
I thought I had it figured out just a few months back
Reflecting on a past when life seemed sorted, only to be disrupted by a romantic betrayal.
The girl of my dreams stood in front of me, my life was on track
Initially, the narrator felt content with a significant other.
Until she left me for the same old guy, that broke her heart before
The partner repeats a pattern by leaving for a familiar, hurtful relationship.
But it just so happens that, I don't need her anymore
The narrator realizes personal growth, asserting independence from the past.
A friend won't look you in the eye and say I'm walking out your door
Reiterating the loyalty and honesty expected from genuine friendships.
Cheat and lie, make me cry like all the other girls before
Emphasizing the emotional pain caused by deceitful actions, contrasting with true friendship.
All it takes is just a phone call, and they'll always comprehend
Reassurance that real friends will comprehend and support in times of need.
When your GPS of life shut down, just turn to a friend
Repeating the idea that friends provide guidance when life's path becomes unclear.
As I sit here at this 9 to 5, dragging through my day
Describing the monotony of a typical workday.
A buddy of mine, we haven't talked in years, called to just say hey
A distant friend reaches out, expressing concern and the need for connection.
I could tell it just ain't right, by the tone of what he said
Sensing the friend's distress through the conversation's tone.
He said I'm okay, have a good day. I just needed a friend
The friend reassures the narrator, highlighting the importance of friendship in tough times.
A Friend won't look you in the eye and say I'm walking out your door
Reaffirming the loyalty and commitment of genuine friendships.
Cheat and lie, make me cry like all the other girls before
Continuing to contrast the negative experiences of past relationships with the reliability of a friend.
All it takes is just a phone call, and they'll always comprehend
Underlining the ease of seeking support and understanding from true friends.
When your GPS of life shuts down, just turn to a friend
Reiterating the metaphor of turning to a friend when facing life's uncertainties.
When your GPS of life shuts down, just turn to a friend
Final repetition of the idea that friends are a reliable source of guidance in challenging times.
