Lyrics
Today, when she comes in,
Anticipation of her arrival today.
I'll be standing at the door, and I won't say any more.
Expressing intention to remain silent when she comes in.
I know that she's been there.
Acknowledgment of her presence before.
It's not the way I look at her, it's the way she looks at me.
Emphasizing the importance of her gaze, not his own.
Yes you can hold my hand any other night,
Invitation to hold hands on any other night.
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Reassurance that holding hands will make everything alright.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
Repetition of the invitation for any other night.
It's all right.
Reaffirmation that it's alright.
Hold my hand any other night,
Reiteration of the invitation.
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Assurance that holding hands will bring comfort.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
Repetition of the invitation for any other night.
It's all right.
Reaffirmation that it's alright.
Hold my hand.
Simple plea to hold his hand.
Hold my hand.
Repetition of the plea.
Hold my hand.
Further repetition of the plea.
When she lays on my bed,
Shift to a scene of her on his bed.
It's not me she's thinking of, it's just me that really cares.
Clarification that it's his caring, not him personally, on her mind.
My time, I know is out,
Acknowledgment that his time is running out.
And she'll be walking through that door,
Anticipation of her return through the door.
And she'll lie again tomorrow night.
Expectation of her lying again the next night.
Yes you can hold my hand any other night,
Repetition of the invitation to hold hands on any other night.
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Reassurance that holding hands will make everything alright.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
Repetition of the invitation for any other night.
It's all right.
Reaffirmation that it's alright.
Hold my hand any other night,
Reiteration of the invitation.
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Assurance that holding hands will bring comfort.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
Repetition of the invitation for any other night.
It's all right.
Reaffirmation that it's alright.
Hold my hand.
Simple plea to hold his hand.
Hold my hand.
Repetition of the plea.
Hold my hand.
Further repetition of the plea.
Hold my hand.
Continued plea to hold his hand.
