Pedro The Lion - Little Help Lyrics

Saw a new friend from church at the mall
Nervous he wouldn't recall me
Bracing myself to feel invisible
That's when he walked up and said something surprising
His mom said I could spend the night
Looking over at my folks
They said alright

Flipping through his dad's LPs in his room
Recognized one from the movie
They showed us at camp about rock and roll
If you play it on reverse it says turn me on dead man
We got bored in no time
So we played the record forward and set the needle down

I couldn't stop laughing
It's my birthday too yeah

Treading water on the open ocean
Then you threw me out a life ring
All I needed was a little help from a friend

Back at my school feeling more like myself
Wandering the hallways in headphones
Singing along to the fool on the hill
That's when this kid smirked
What are you doing
And do you wanna come surfing

Treading water on the open ocean
Then you threw me out a life ring
I was getting pretty used to drowning
All I needed was a godsend
All I needed was a little help from a friend
