Helping Hand
A Friend's Helping Hand: Whereswilder's Meaningful MelodyLyrics
If you get the notion that you're dead inside
If you feel emotionally numb or disconnected
If you're sorry for yourself you don't even try
If you indulge in self-pity and don't make an effort
If the rain comes pouring out of the sky
If you're experiencing a metaphorical downpour of troubles
I'll be dropping over to your favourite bar
The singer will visit your favorite bar to offer support
You can get it off your chest or tell me a lie
You can share your feelings or fabricate a story
When the night is over I'll give you a drive
The singer will provide transportation after the night ends
I know that you'd do the same thing for me
Reciprocal assurance of mutual support
Cause I don't want to be around waiting for you all the time I don't want to know what you're doing every night
The singer doesn't want to constantly wait or pry into your nightly activities
I just want to be a friend a bit of a helping hand
The desire to be a supportive friend, offering help when needed
If you get the notion that you're out of time
If you sense a limited time and feel neglected
You feel jealous of the world that put you aside
Feeling envious of a world that seems to ignore you
Still the rain comes pouring out of the sky
Despite difficulties, challenges persist
You gotta be careful where you're standing
Caution about choosing where to stand in difficult situations
Cause I don't want to be around waiting for you all the time I don't want to know what you're doing every night
Similar sentiment as line 9, emphasizing autonomy
I just want to be a friend a bit of a helping hand
Reiteration of the desire to be a supportive friend
Start a conversation gotta be cool
Suggesting the importance of initiating a conversation calmly
Give it a little while and take your time is what you need to do
Advocating patience and taking time to address issues
You'll have to trust somebody and get a little closer too
Encouraging trust and closer connections with others
