Lyrics
I can hold you in my hands
I have the ability to hold you in my hands.
How long will this miracle last?
Questioning the duration of this extraordinary and wondrous occurrence.
I can't quite believe what I've seen
Expressing disbelief at what has been witnessed.
My heart living outside of my body
Emotionally feeling as if my heart is living outside my body.
Cradle
Introduction of the central theme or metaphor, "Cradle."
From my hands, you hold my soul
You, representing a significant other, hold my essence in your hands.
And what was half is coming out whole
The completion of a once incomplete part, becoming whole.
Repeating my lines but getting thin
Repetition of personal expressions but with a diminishing impact.
Overflowing, cresting the brim
Feelings are overwhelming, surpassing their usual limits.
Hmm
An expressive sound, perhaps indicating contemplation or uncertainty.
Cradle, then lay you down
Reiteration of the central theme, suggesting a cyclical nature.
Watch the stars spin around
Observing the celestial bodies in motion while cradling a significant other.
Milk breath, harvest
Describing a tender moment, perhaps referencing a newborn's breath and abundance.
Cradle, then lay you down
Repetition of the act of laying down a loved one, continuing the cyclical theme.
Lay you down
Repeated emphasis on laying down, possibly symbolizing a ritual or routine.
Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
Continued repetition, reinforcing the significance of laying down.
Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Lay you down
-Cradle, then lay you down
Reiteration of cradling and laying down, emphasizing a recurring cycle.
Watch the stars spin around
Observing the celestial bodies while repeating the tender act.
Milk breath, harvest
Describing a moment of tranquility or purity, possibly related to a child.
Cradle, then lay you down
Repeating the cycle of cradling and laying down, suggesting continuity.
Lay you down
Final repetition of laying down, concluding the lyrical narrative.
