I Need A Hand by Golden Boy Lyrics

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
