the rest of the song is about trying to rebuild a badly damaged relationship, but this part... well... if you are my friend or my love and you are dented around the edges, it's likely that i have wanted to pet your hair and sing this bit to you.

if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

(Barenaked Ladies - Call And Answer lyrics)


good grief; when did i get so schmoopy? must be bedtime.
