I Need a Hand - Golden Boy

If you get tired of feeling lonesome

Tired of feeling like the only one

From whom you get your sympathy

By keeping yourself company

Well I’m just a parakeet

With words as weightless

As the bones that carry me

And I’m just following their lead

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery

And if it ever takes your breath away

Just know that I never set out to hurt you

It’s just the price that some of us pay

For living without a virtue

Well I’m just a parakeet

With words as weightless

As the bones that carry me

And I’m just following their lead

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery

And I need a hand to hold

A shoulder over which I can peek

I need a hand to hold

A shoulder on which I can lean

And I just want to love

They’re liars I see right through them

And I know they’re not

You’ve been lied to and I’ve been proven

And all I know

If I try to seek their council

On some days an angel

On others the devil

It’s something I deal with every day

I say what I don’t mean

And you just can’t to better than that

I won’t be waiting around for you

And blur the lines with banter

So when they call me to the stand

And demand from me an answer

I will say that I can’t

For I will have made the straight meander

By the passing of my hand

Thru those pliable standards

Those lines in the sand

That’s why I need a hand to hold

One that grips tight when it’s cold and freezing

I need a hand to hold

Cuz I don’t want something

From anybody

Anymore

I need a hand to hold

I need a hand to hold
