I wish I was there
Holding your hand
In the deep of the night
When you need a friend
Cause I know these last winters
Have been hard on your soul
It began from your cheeks
Then your smile slowly froze
And I know that you feel
You can't do this no more
When your life skips a beat
It's the heart that keeps score
There are long gloomy days
And some cold-hearted nights
But soon you'll wake up
And you're gonna be fine
Stumbling by chance
By our old secret spot
Where we used to play dylan
Every day until dark
Now I know you were right
When you said with a smile
This summer will be
The best of our life
And I know that you feel
This ain't true anymore
Your life has mistreated you
And your soul has kept score
These are long gloomy days
And some cold-hearted nights
But with a help from a friend
You will take back your life
You life
Remember that summer
I got drunk, almost drowning
You jumped in the water
Caught me breathless and laughing
And I'll never forget
That helping hand
So here I am now
When you need a friend
Oh when you need a friend
You need a friend
