The Times I Need You

(album: Secret Ladder - 2014)

Ooh this life can surely kick your ass
People smile and say this too shall pass
Brother they may never care
But you were always there
All the times I needed you

Yes you were there but where was I
(Turning to the wrong protectors)
Letting honest comfort pass me by
(Taking love from love rejectors)
I'd be in free fall
But too afraid to call
All the times I needed you

Friendship
Sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it
Ignore it
But it will still be there !
Ooh my ego lies just like a song
It says keep it to yourself
And you'll look strong
All that time-honored crap
Just helped me lose my map
All the times I needed you

Friendship
Sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it
Ignore it
But it follows you everywhere

I could be a jerk sometimes
You could be a jerk sometimes
It's all a matter of degrees !
Ooh now I look back and there we are
(Two scared shaggy-haired
mis-paired lunatics)
Pooling all our cash to buy a star
(Look there we are on the TV)
If I had my own way
I'd let you know today
That I always needed you
All the times I needed you
