Hands Up

(album: Monsters Calling Home, Vol. 1 - 2019)

Hands up, what?
Remember when I let you down?
Remember when it all just fell apart?
Remember when you turned around?

I looked up once before you said what you now mean
Seconds changed the face you made
The look of settling
Say you've been tired
Say you've been safe
Call me out if it keeps you in it
But don't leave now in the middle of a feeling

Hands up, what?
Remember when I let you down?
Remember when it all just fell apart?
Remember when you turned around?
Hands up, what?
I never wanna let you down
I never wanna feel the way we did
I never wanna go back down

I lost the fire, it got washed up in the flood
Of all the words to call my name these stones say enough
I've been tired
I don't feel safe
Hold me down, oh, I feel like swinging
Oldest kid in a cold war singing

Hands up, what?
Remember when I let you down?
Remember when it all just fell apart?
Remember when you turned around?
Hands up, what?
I never wanna let you down
I never wanna feel the way we did
I never wanna go back down

(All my life, da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da)
(All my life, da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da)
I don't need someone to believe in
I just need you next to me
I just need you next to me
(All my life, da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da)
I don't need someone to believe in
I just need you next to me
I just need you next to me
(All my life, da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da)
I don't need someone to believe in
I just need you next to me
I just need you next to me

Hands up, what?
Always gonna let you down
Always gonna feel the way we did
I hope you figure it out
Hands up, what?
Always gonna let you down
Always gonna leave this up to you
And I hope you figure it out
Hands up, what?
Always gonna let you down
Always gonna feel the way we did
And I hope you figure it out
Hands up, what?
I'm always gonna let you down
Always gonna leave this up to you
And I hope you figure it out
Hands up
