Loose Panic "Your Hands and Mine" (NPR Tiny Desk Content 2025 entry)

Your Hands and Mine
I wish I'd studied your hands
back when i had the chance
i'd count up the freckles you got from your mom
now when i look at my hands
i recall a young man's plans
of always keeping you safe from harm
all these times I replay again
all the nows and thens and wheres and whens
these days i keep a tool in my hands
i'm sure that you'd understand
my need to focus them on something else
but it doesn't change the fact that these hands
are the ones i cried into when
we all learned about the hand you'd been dealt
all these times they replay again
all the ifs and buts and wheres and whens
i remember how you fell in my hands
crying as hard as young lungs can
when you caught your finger in your bedroom door
and the ghosted scar on your hand
that rested on my shoulder while we danced
across our living room pinewood floors
in my dreams last night we danced again
and you woke up in your bed the next morning
in my dreams last night we danced again
and you woke up in your bed the next morning
