Lay your hand here again 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Palm to palm, we stood where the streetlight ends

You wrote a word that only shadows keep

I took it home like it was something I could mend

Kept it hidden till your hands went still again

Four years gone but the letters stayed

Faded ink on skin that's older now

I couldn't throw it out, not even when you said goodbye

Held onto hope like it might somehow be real this time

Pre-Chorus

So here we stand where the city starts to shine

You're standing opposite me like a ghost from a different line

I'm asking for one thing, just say it's true

Lay your hand here again and tell me what I do

Chorus

Lay your hand here again

Say the word before you walk away

Lay your hand here again

Hold this feeling like we used to do today

You took my breath when the lights went out

Now it's dark but your fingers are still there somehow

Lay your hand here again

Tell me if we're starting all over now

Verse 2

We chased the sunset, watched it dip below

You promised that someday you'd come back and I'd know

I kept that promise written in my skin

Even when the ink began to run out inside

Years went by but some words don't fade

They stay inside where love still lives

Sometimes at night, I pull it from beneath this shade

Feel your fingers tracing out what I could never erase

Pre-Chorus

So here we stand where the city starts to shine

You're standing opposite me like a ghost from a different line

I'm asking for one thing, just say it's true

Lay your hand here again and tell me what I do

Chorus

Lay your hand here again

Say the word before you walk away

Lay your hand here again

Hold this feeling like we used to do today

You took my breath when the lights went out

Now it's dark but your fingers are still there somehow

Lay your hand here again

Tell me if we're starting all over now

Bridge

Maybe what I wanted was never yours

Maybe someday I'll find someone who stays longer than a year of doors

But right now, in this moment, your touch is the only thing that makes sense

So don't say goodbye until you know it's not just my consent

Chorus

Lay your hand here again

Say the word before you walk away

Lay your hand here again

Hold this feeling like we used to do today

You took my breath when the lights went out

Now it's dark but your fingers are still there somehow

Lay your hand here again

Tell me if we're starting all over now

Before you walk away
