Hold Your Hand Over Mine 2 (Version 2)

Intro

Shut your eyes, I won't let you fall

Verse

Grandma's silverware polished bright

You're holding my hand like a lifeline tonight

We don't talk about what we can't pay

Just the hum of the refrigerator all day

I learned how to make you laugh when nobody else would

And that's a skill worth fighting for, kid

Pre-Chorus

What if nothing changes but our view?

What if every storm is just a way through?

Can we find the beauty in what's already here?

Is it too much to ask for another year of holding on when things get dark and cold

Chorus

Hold your hand over mine, let me keep you safe

We're not done yet, no matter how hard the days have been

I'll be your shelter when the whole world shakes

Hold your hand over mine, don't ever break the chain

Verse

You used to read me stories in a voice like honey

Now I'm the one reading the news and you just nod along

We didn't plan this life, but it's ours alone

And sometimes that feels like the only thing we own

Pre-Chorus

What if nothing changes but our view?

What if every storm is just a way through?

Can we find the beauty in what's already here?

Is it too much to ask for another year of holding on when things get dark and cold

Chorus

Hold your hand over mine, let me keep you safe

We're not done yet, no matter how hard the days have been

I'll be your shelter when the whole world shakes

Hold your hand over mine, don't ever break the chain

Bridge

I know I'm not perfect and neither are you

But in the dark of the bedroom where nobody can see us

You're still my favorite person and I love watching you sleep

Chorus

Hold your hand over mine, let me keep you safe

We're not done yet, no matter how hard the days have been

I'll be your shelter when the whole world shakes

Hold your hand over mine, don't ever break the chain
