Little Help

[Verse 1]

Saw a new friend from church at the mall

Nervous he wouldn't recall me

Bracing myself to feel invisible

That's when he walked up and said something surprising

His mom said I could spend the night

Looking over at my folks

They said "alright"

Flipping through his dad's LPs in his room

Recognized one from the movie

They showed us at camp about rock and roll

If you play it on reverse it says "turn me on dead man"

We got bored in no time

So we played the record forward and set the needle down

[Pre-Chorus]

I couldn't stop laughing

It's my birthday too, yeah

[Chorus]

Treading water on thе open ocean

Then you thrеw me out a life ring

All I needed was a little help from a friend

[Verse 2]

Back at my school feeling more like myself

Wandering the hallways in headphones

Singing along to The Fool on the Hill

That's when this kid smirked

What are you doing

And do you wanna come surfing?

[Chorus]

Treading water on the open ocean

Then you threw me out a life ring

I was getting pretty used to drowning

All I needed was a godsend

All I needed was a little help from a friend
