Hang On To

You were oh so clever
pretending to measure
both our hands
So that you could touch mine

I laughed at all you told me
Your hand and your voice hold me
longer than expected
will it be long enough this time?

Your hands touch my face
Let me know I’m beautiful
Without having to say it and that’s
something I want to hang on to
When one hand holds another
Like they were made to fit each other
I can’t stand to lose
something I want to hang on to

I’d wrap myself in you
Take in every word you say
Until I feel invincible
And all our imperfections slip away

I sing those sentimental songs
As if I wrote them all for you
Everything stops and my heart
moves when I hear your name (it’s true)

Your hands touch my face
Let me know I’m beautiful
Without having to say it
that’s something I want to hang on to
When one hand holds another
Like they were made to fit each other
I can’t stand to lose
something I want to hang on to

Bridge:
Your hands know
Every part of me
When they go
To the heart of me
They reach me where I need you most…

Your hands touch my face
Let me know I’m beautiful
Without having to say it
that’s something I want to hang on to
When one hand holds another
Like they were made to fit each other
I can’t stand to lose
something I want to hang on
