Help
Big Time Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help, you know I need someone, help
When I was younger
So much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self assured
And opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
And now my life has changed
In oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you
Like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
When I was younger
So much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind
And opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
