Help
Gross Henry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was younger so much younger than today.
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now those days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've chanced my mind I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can I'm feeling down and I do appreciate you being around.
Help me get my feet back on the gound.
Won't you please?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways.
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But ev'ry 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 around.
Won't you please?

When I was younger so much younger than today.
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now those days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've chanced my mind I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can I'm feeling down and I do appreciate you being around.

Help me get my feet back on the gound.
Won't you please?
