Left side, right side, heavy and light

Verse 1

Red bulb humming on the brick outside

Warm dust rising where the two steps glide

No words moving through the dark right now

Your palm on my shoulder showing me how

Deep kick leaning in the floorboards slow

You guide my weight where we need to go

Pre-Chorus

You press in slow

You pull me close

Where do we go

Where do we go

Chorus

Your hands tell me what to hold tonight

Left side, right side, heavy and light

Your hands tell me what to hold tonight

We let the rhythm make the circle tight

Verse 2

Two fingertips resting on my wrist bone bare

Cool sweat cooling in the doorway air

The log drum knocking at an easy pace

Your quiet knuckles finding empty space

You tilt your palm and the turn is clear

No eyes open but the groove is here

Pre-Chorus

You press in slow

You pull me close

Where do we go

Where do we go

Chorus

Your hands tell me what to hold tonight

Left side, right side, heavy and light

Your hands tell me what to hold tonight

We let the rhythm make the circle tight

Bridge

No speech, just skin on skin

The drum rolls out and we settle in

You loosen your grip, then you take the lead

Every small movement is all we need

Chorus

Your hands tell me what to hold tonight

Left side, right side, heavy and light

Your hands tell me what to hold tonight

We let the rhythm make the circle tight
