Helping Hand Lyrics

Call me once
You call me twice
No one will listen to your advice
As the phone lay off the hook
All my ??? you mistook
But I felt your helping hand
As the saying told by man
You shouldn't catch a falling friend
Why you'd want to fall with me
I don't know but you'll soon see
That there is no promises
Oh, so don't let it go to waste
We're all too often
Reeled in by fate
And just a damaged fool
And you're reaching out too soon

Tore the words from every page
To where the wisdom of a sage
But the cloak
It never fits
I'm always naked under it
Won't you ever understand?
Someone told that all you need
Is to ask and you'll receive
But the problem never hides
Its the same old foolish pride
And it stops the helping hands
Yeah, so don't let us go to waste
We're all too often reeled in by fate
And just a damaged fool
You're reaching out too soon

So... don't let us go to waste
We're all too often reeled in by fate
And just a damaged fool
And I'm reaching out to you...

Still our turn
Still you yearn
For the gesture to be returned
Bridges built
Bridges burned
Wonder if we'll ever learn
That it's just a helping hand
