Little Help — Jeffery Horton

Verse 1

You’re staring at the ceiling
Phone face down
But it still rings loud
All these tiny little failures
Stacking up
Feel like a crowd
You cancel every promise
Say you’re “busy”
Really mean worn out
You’ve been holding up the planet
On two tired hands
Full of doubt

Chorus

Every one needs a little help
A steady hand when we lose ourselves
You don’t have to do this all alone
Let me in
I’ll walk you home
Every one needs a little help
To lean on somebody else
So when your strength runs out of breath
You can borrow mine instead (oh yeah)

Verse 2

You laugh it off in public
Say “I’m fine”
But your eyes look gone
Coffee cups and crumpled to-do lists
In the sink with the setting sun
You think you’re just a burden
So you hide every crack you’ve got
But I see the way you’re shaking
As you say you’re “okay” when you’re not

Chorus

Every one needs a little help
A steady hand when we lose ourselves
You don’t have to do this all alone
Let me in
I’ll walk you home
Every one needs a little help
To lean on somebody else
You don’t have to earn this rest
You can fall and I’ll hold the net

Bridge

Call me in the middle of the night (hey)
Say nothing
Let me hear you breathe
You don’t need the perfect words
Just say my name
That’s enough for me

Chorus

Every one needs a little help
A steady hand when we lose ourselves
You don’t have to do this all alone
Let me in
I’ll walk you home
Every one needs a little help
To lean on somebody else
When your heart can’t help but yell
I’ll be there
Your little help
