Lyrics
Thought I’d done too much
Thought I had done too much, possibly fearing I've gone beyond acceptable limits.
Thought you’d leave
Anticipated your departure or abandonment.
I thought you’d change your mind, but
Expected a change of heart from you, but...
Still found your hand in mine
Despite expectations, still found your hand intertwined with mine.
Looking down I saw your hand in mine
Realized the physical presence of your hand held in mine upon looking down.
I know you see what I am
Aware that you perceive my true nature and nothing more.
And nothing else
There’s nothing additional beyond what you see.
But somehow want me
Surprisingly, you desire me in some way despite perceiving me plainly.
And nothing less
You want me as I am and not in any diminished way.
So hard to draw the line
Difficult to establish clear boundaries.
I don’t care
Indifference towards consequences because I desire your hand in mine.
I want your hand in mine
Expressing the longing to hold your hand.
I’ve been fallin'
Been descending or experiencing a downfall.
Talking to the shadows
Engaging in conversations with shadows, possibly symbolic of inner struggles.
Oh, I’ve been wandering
Wandering in an isolated or desolate place.
In the place where no one goes
Being in a space where nobody else ventures.
But you’re
Nevertheless,
Always, always, always
You’re consistently present.
And you won’t change, won’t change, won’t change
You won't alter or deviate from this constant presence.
Not afraid of this mess I’ve made
Not scared of the chaos or troubles created.
Cause you’re always, always, always
Because you're always there.
You don’t love me less
Your love for me isn't diminished.
And you won’t love me more than you do now
Your love won't increase from the current state.
Only heaven knows the why and how
The reasons and methods are only known to a higher power.
They call me stranger but you call me child
Others consider me a stranger, but you see me as your own.
I know you see what I am
Reiteration of being seen for who I am and nothing else.
And nothing else
No additional perceptions beyond the reality.
But somehow want me
Yet, you somehow desire me despite this.
And nothing less
Your desire for me isn't reduced.
So hard to draw the line
Challenging to set boundaries.
I don’t care
Indifferent to consequences because I long for your hand in mine.
I want your hand in mine
Expressing the longing to hold your hand.
I’ve been fallin'
Continuously descending or experiencing a downfall.
Talking to the shadows
Communicating with inner struggles symbolized as shadows.
Oh, I've been wandering
Roaming in an isolated or desolate space.
In the place where no one goes
Being in a place devoid of others.
But you’re
Nevertheless,
Always, always, always
You’re consistently present.
And you won’t change, won’t change, won’t change
You won't alter or deviate from this constant presence.
Not afraid of this mess I’ve made
Not scared of the chaos or troubles created.
Cause you’re always, always, always
Because you're always there.
Even when my hands are clean
Even when my actions are pure or untainted.
Even when they’re stained red
Even when my actions are stained or guilty.
Every shade of in between
In every situation or circumstance in between these extremes.
You take them in yours even then
You accept my hands in yours despite any situation.
