Holding Your Hand

(album: Skyscraper Anonymous - 2016)

Holding your hand and gripping tightly to your fingertips
Watching with a nervous stare and wondering when lingered lips
Would meet again, and we'd decrypt the mysteries between
All these places that I've visited, this vista is serene
And I believe the atmosphere was made up when you landed here
And froze me in position, thus suspended like a chandelier
Turned my insecurities to wisdom and disbanded fear
Until the only thing that I resembled was a man revered
See, I met this planet here with lonely apprehension
Always let the canvas smear and hold me back from living
'Til I finally advanced some years and told my after-vision
"You had best be taking chances, merely moping ain't revision,"
Then I exited a panicked year and followed through the months
Traded out my bumps and bruises for a solitude in hugs
Went from solemn in a hollow shell to swallowing my tongue
And only skipped an hour past 'til I was awkwardly in love

Like, oh my darling
Hold onto my hand
Oh, my heart is beating out my chest
Ain't this all grand?
(Ain't this grand?)

Skip to later in the year, watching summer turn to fall
Watching halloween approach and losing slumber to it all
It would seem as though impossible, but some how you had managed
To be even more angelic, something lovely had evolved
And I refuse to question how, just smile in euphoria
Always entertained and all the while, never bored of ya'
'Cause everything about you from your smile to how you spell your name
Is absolutely perfect, and I swear I've never felt the same
(Everything about you from your smile to how you spell your name
Is absolutely perfect, and I swear I've never felt the same)
