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
