You called me once
You called me twice
I wouldn't listen to your advice
As the phone lay off the hook
All my motives you mistook
But I felt your helping hand
There's a saying told by man
You shouldn't catch a falling friend
Why you'd want to fall with me
I don't know but you'll soon see
That there is no promised land
Oh, so don't let it go to waste
We're all too often
Reeled in by fate
I'm just a damaged fool
And you're reaching out too soon
I tore the words from every page
To wear the wisdom of a sage
But the cloak it never fits
I'm always naked under it
Won't you ever understand?
So I'm told that all you need
Is to ask and you'll receive
But the problem never hides
Its the same old foolish pride
And it stops the helping hands
Yeah, so don't let it go to waste
We're all too often reeled in by fate
I'm just a damaged fool
And you're reaching out too soon
So... don't let us go to waste
We're all too often reeled in by fate
I'm just a damaged fool
And I'm reaching out to you...
Still I turn & Still you yearn
For the gesture to be returned
Bridges builtBridges burned
Wonder if we'll ever learn
That it's just a helping hand
