Platten, Rachel - Hands Lyrics






Hey, Rachel, just wanted to say "Hi"
And I hope everything's going well for you
And you have, just having a good time in New York
So, sorry I missed you
If—if you get a chance, sweetie, call me

You were early every weekday to take me home
Your car was always the closest to Washington Road
Like a blanket I was wrapped in your arms so warm
They say Boston's the coldest, but I wouldn't know

There was no falling down without you 'round to pick me up
And no tears that fell without you help to change my luck
And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough
About how to love someone wholeheartedly

You soldiered storms that you never spoke of
Built up a world that was all about us
If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch
The warm steady shake of two hands
That love me too much, that love me too much

You took over for your family at just 16
Putting words onto paper, working tirelessly
You said, "Your life should just be easy, love.
I've worked enough for all of us.
Just smile and shoot for stars above and read."

There was no falling down without you 'round to pick me up
And no tears that fell without you help to dry them up
And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough
About how to love someone wholeheartedly

You soldiered storms that you never spoke of
Built up a world that was all about us
If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch
The warm steady shake of two hands
That love me too much, that love me too much

Can I hold your, can I hold your hand forever
And never let it go? I might never let it go
And can I ask you, can I ask you everything
That I ever want to know?
And, Nana, can you show me how to

Soldier big storms and not ever give up
And build up a world that is all about love
And not close my eyes when the water gets rough
To have warm steady hands just like you
That love me too much, that love me too much
That I'm worthy of, that love me too much

That love me too much
(It was so nice to see you at my party.)
(And having you sit with me. And we were so close.)
That I'm worthy of
(And—and the singing the song. I was so excited.)
That love me too much
(So anyway, honey, I love you so much.)
(So, so safe travels, bye.)

    Infinity Hamilton No, her grandma

  41. s.... ....

    rachels talent of singing isnt about partying, or about falling in love or the pain or suffering we endured but rather she shines by telling stories of compassion , those untold stories , the trials that we are all familiar of yet are hesitant to open up about it. She excels at weaving this story of strength; inner strength be it one's inner strength or others

    s.... ....

    thank you xx

    I love you❤️
    頑張る。
