Back of my Hand
Familiarity in Love's Symphony
Lyrics
We're gonna be twenty minutes late wherever we go
We're going to consistently be late by about twenty minutes no matter where we're heading.
You're gonna make me stop at the drive through to get yourself a Red Bull
You'll insist on stopping at a drive-through to get a Red Bull for yourself.
You're gonna grab that radio dial and turn the music up way too loud
You'll grab the radio dial and crank up the music to a level that's too loud.
This happens every time that we go out
This scenario repeats itself every time we go out.
I know you just like the back of my hand
I know you extremely well, just like I know the back of my hand.
You're gonna have those ripped jeans on and that sweet perfume
You'll be wearing ripped jeans and a pleasant perfume.
That long black curly hair, your eyes are always ocean blue
Your appearance will include long, curly black hair and perpetually ocean-blue eyes.
You're gonna talk about your Mama, and Jesus, singing Florida Georgia Line
You'll talk about your mother, mention Jesus, and sing songs by Florida Georgia Line.
This happens to me every single night
This routine happens to me every single night.
Yeah I know you just like the back of my hand
I understand you deeply, akin to how I know the back of my hand.
Like the bottom of a whiskey mason jar
As familiar as the bottom of a whiskey mason jar.
Or when I press the clutch in this beat up car
Similar to how I feel the clutch in this old, worn-out car.
When my favorite song's played by my favorite band
When my favorite song plays by my favorite band, it's a moment I'm familiar with.
I know you just like the back of my hand
Again, I know you deeply, comparable to the back of my hand.
When I get home from work tonight and I walk through that door
When I return home from work tonight and enter, you'll already be pouring a glass of wine, promising it's just one more.
You're pouring a glass of wine; you swear to me it's just one more
You'll have our baby on your shoulders, declaring how adorable he is.
You're gonna' have our baby on your shoulders then look at me and say
You express this sentiment about our child every time.
Isn't he the cutest thing that you've ever seen
Once again, my understanding of you is as deep as my knowledge of the back of my hand.
Well I know you just like the back of my hand
Repeatedly, I comprehend you as well as the back of my hand.
Like the bottom of a whiskey mason jar
Like the familiarity of the bottom of a whiskey mason jar.
Or when I press the clutch in this beat up car
Comparable to feeling the clutch in this old car.
When my favorite song's played by my favorite band
When my favorite song by my favorite band plays, it's a familiar occurrence.
I know you just like the back of my hand
Once again, my understanding of you is as deep as my knowledge of the back of my hand.
I could close my eyes and know it's you
I can identify you even with my eyes closed in this room.
That's standing next to me in this room
By your presence and mannerisms, I can recognize you next to me.
From the way you dance, from the way you move, up and down the floor
I can tell it's you by the way you dance and move on the floor.
Won't you give me just a little more
I'm asking for a bit more from you, wanting you to do something.
Do it, do it, do it again
Encouragement to repeat an action, asking for more of it.
Cause I know you just like the back of my hand
Once again, my understanding of you is as deep as my knowledge of the back of my hand.
Like the bottom of a whiskey mason jar
Comparable to the familiarity of the bottom of a whiskey mason jar.
Or when I press the clutch in this beat up car
Similar to feeling the clutch in this old car.
When my favorite song's played by my favorite band
When my favorite song by my favorite band plays, it's a familiar occurrence.
I know you just like the back of my hand
Once again, my understanding of you is as deep as my knowledge of the back of my hand.
Yeah I know you just like the back of my hand
Repeated affirmation of knowing you as deeply as the back of my hand.
Do it, do it, do it again
Encouragement to repeat an action, asking for more of it.
Do it, do it, do it again
-C'mon now, do it, do it, do it again
Further encouragement to repeat an action, asking for more of it.
Cause I know you just like the back of my hand
Repeated confirmation of understanding you as deeply as the back of my hand.
