Through My Hands
Yearning Echoes: Holding On to Fading Memories
Lyrics
10 past 12 sitting criss-cross on the floor
Reflecting at 10 minutes past midnight while seated cross-legged on the floor
Scrolling through photos from way before
Browsing through old photographs from a distant past
Got my head missing how we used to be
Feeling a sense of longing for how things used to be
Wishing I could see you just to say that
Desiring to meet just to communicate a message
You can think it through I just
Encouraging the other person to contemplate while the singer struggles
Can't get over you oh
Expressing inability to move past or forget about the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Questioning how to prevent losing the person
I don't think you want it as
Believing the other person might not desire it as strongly
Bad as you know I do
Expressing intense desire for the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Reiterating concern about losing the person
Talked till 3, spent the night in your Accord
Recalling a conversation till late night and spending time together in a car
Wrapped in my jacket to keep you warm
Using the singer's jacket to keep the other person warm
Woke to see it was more than just a dream
Realizing the depth of feelings beyond just a dream upon waking up
Wishing I could see you just the same but
Desiring to see the person again despite the situation
You can think it through I just
Encouraging the other person to consider while the singer struggles
Can't get over you oh
Expressing inability to move past or forget about the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Questioning how to prevent losing the person
I don't think you want it as
Believing the other person might not desire it as strongly
Bad as you know I do
Expressing intense desire for the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Reiterating concern about losing the person
Oh, oh, oh
Expressing emotional distress
Oh how do I keep you?
Questioning how to maintain the connection with the person
I want I want you to be
Desiring the person's happiness even without the singer
Happy even without me
Willingness to sacrifice to ensure the person's well-being
What I'd give to make you feel alright so
Expressing a strong desire to make the person feel better
You can think it through I just
Encouraging the other person to consider while the singer struggles
Can't get over you oh
Expressing inability to move past or forget about the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Questioning how to prevent losing the person
I don't think you want it as
Believing the other person might not desire it as strongly
Bad as you know I do
Expressing intense desire for the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Reiterating concern about losing the person
Oh, oh, oh
Expressing emotional distress
Oh how do I keep you?
Questioning how to maintain the connection with the person
You can think it through I just
Encouraging the other person to consider while the singer struggles
Can't get over you oh
Expressing inability to move past or forget about the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Questioning how to prevent losing the person
I don't think you want it as
Believing the other person might not desire it as strongly
Bad as you know I do
Expressing intense desire for the person
How do I keep you from slipping through my hands?
Reiterating concern about losing the person
