Little Help Tonight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I missed the last train home My phone died in the rain Got my shoes full of puddles And my head full of names I was close to breaking Standing there alone Then you picked up the pieces Like you’d done it before [Pre-Chorus] You said, breathe Stay with me One more step You’ll see [Chorus] I just need a little help A little help from my friend I can take the fall If you take my hand I just need a little help A little help from my friend When the dark comes down You pull me back again (little help) (from my friend) [Verse 2] You showed up with coffee And a thrift-store grin Said, “Don’t make a war Out of one bad week” We laughed in the doorway Till the whole room changed And the hard little circle Around my heart gave way [Pre-Chorus] You said, breathe Stay with me One more step You’ll see [Chorus] I just need a little help A little help from my friend I can take the fall If you take my hand I just need a little help A little help from my friend When the dark comes down You pull me back again (little help) (from my friend) [Bridge] If I go quiet You know why I’m tired of carrying The weight of my pride So stay right here Don’t let go One kind voice Can keep me whole [Final Chorus] I just need a little help A little help from my friend I can take the fall If you take my hand I just need a little help A little help from my friend When the dark comes down You pull me back again (little help) (from my friend)
