What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind, painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger, too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You’re waiting for someone to understand you
But you’ve got demons in your closet and you’re screaming out to stop it
Saying life’s begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you, grab on to what you scramble for
Don’t let the tears linger on inside now, cause it’s sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you, If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost, to get your heart back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening - the fires are getting colder,
Too beautiful - to think you’re getting older
You’re looking for someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion, you’re surrounded by confusion
Saying life has begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for, don’t let the tears linger on inside now
Cause it’s sure time you gained control!
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost, to get your heart back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Cause you know I wanna know you! I wanna know you! Well let me know you!
Please let me know you, please let me know you
I wanna feel you, I wanna touch you, please let me near you
Can you hear what I’m saying?
Well I’m hoping, I’m dreaming, I’m praying,
I know what you’re thinking, see what you’re seeing, never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down, why do you hold yourself down ?
Why don’t you listen, you can trust me,
There’s a place I know the way to a place
There is need to feel you, feel that you’re alone
Can you hear me, I know exactly what you’re feeling
Cause all your troubles are within you
So begin to see that I’m just bleeding too
Love me, love you, loving is the way to help me, help you
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we’re such damn fools...
(Supertramp / Crime of the Century)
