J Mascis
Friends
[Verse 1]
I need a hand, I need a hand
Can you understand, I got no plan
Looking for a new brochure
Just staring in the sand

[Verse 2]
In my defense, in my defense
I feel intense, it all makes no sense
I'm the one who runs in circles
Tell me how it went

[Verse 3]
I wanted you to make it slow
I wanna have a hand to hold
Now it's stuck in my throat
Wishing that I'd blow

[Verse 4]
I try and try and get nowhere
I can't avoid and I can't stare
It's not my only thought
But I can't give it up

[Verse 5]
I've been away, I've been away
I'd like to stay but can't get it straight
I saw you running sideways
So I hope it's not to late

[Verse 6]
I wanted you to bring me there
Drop me off, you know I'm scared
Not sure what I can bring
Or if it means a thing

[Verse 7]
I wondered what I couldn't think
I was feeling my heart sink
But couldn't shake it off
Mind was going soft

[Verse 8]
If you're here, if you're here
And I cruise in fear then disappear
Even if you don't see me
I promise I'll be near

[Verse 9]
I wanted you to lose control
I wanted you to hear my soul
And jumble things I've strained
And my goal wasn't reigned

[Verse 10]
I broke it up to have some space
But nothing's falling into place
But I can't get upset
'Cause I can't get it yet
