The song "Reach You" by Carolyn Dawn Johnson tells the story of someone trying to help a friend who is struggling with depression and contemplating suicide. The narrator receives a phone call from their friend who is feeling alone and doesn't want to live anymore. The narrator puts on coffee and stays up all night to try and help their friend. But despite their efforts, they feel like they can't reach them or understand what they are going through. The friend seems to be holding onto their pain like it's their only friend, and the narrator desperately wants to help them out of it. They feel like they are walking in the dark, trying to find their friend but not knowing how to help them. The lyrics express the narrator's desperation to reach their friend and prevent them from taking their own life. Ultimately, the song is a plea for someone who is struggling to reach out for help and for their loved ones to keep trying to reach them and be there for them.
