Holding Hands
Unveiling Love's Truth: Whitney Fenimore's Holding Hands
Lyrics
August walkin home at midnight
Reflecting on a night in August while walking home at midnight.
I saw them dancin under streetlights I wonder what does that feel like
Observing people dancing under streetlights and wondering about that experience.
It took me back to your apartment
Recalling a moment that took the narrator back to their shared apartment.
Brooklyn summer that we started No one knew
Referencing a Brooklyn summer when their relationship began discreetly.
But I found my heart back then
Expressing the discovery of love or a deep connection during that time.
I've been bending the truth And callin it honest
Admitting to bending the truth and labeling it as honesty.
I'm too good at playin the part sellin these lies
Professing proficiency in playing a role and selling deceptive lies.
But I hate that they bought em
Expressing discomfort with the fact that others believed those lies.
Can we just be who we are
Pleading for authenticity and embracing their true selves.
Instead of holdin hands in the dark
Questioning the need for secrecy and yearning to be open about their relationship.
Why I am still nervous to kiss you
Expressing nervousness about displaying affection, specifically kissing, in public places like airports.
At airports It's what people do
Highlighting societal expectations regarding public displays of affection.
And I hate that it's something I'm working through
Acknowledging personal struggles and a desire to overcome them.
I've been bending the truth And callin it honest
Reiterating the theme of dishonesty and its discomfort.
I'm too good at playin the part sellin these lies
Stressing the narrator's skill in playing a role and selling falsehoods.
But I hate that they bought em can we just be who we are
Expressing dislike for the fact that others believed those deceptive stories.
Instead of holdin hands in the dark
Reiterating the desire for authenticity and honesty in the relationship.
I know I've been caught up in my head And you've been patient
Acknowledging being caught up in one's thoughts and appreciating the partner's patience.
Gave me space that I needed
Recognizing the partner's provision of needed space.
So I could stop bending the truth
Expressing a commitment to stop distorting the truth and embrace honesty.
And start being honest
Declaring a readiness to be truthful and abandon the role-playing.
I'm tired of playin the part
Conveying fatigue from pretending and admitting fear of expressing desires.
I was too scared to admit what I wanted I'm ready to be who we are
Expressing readiness to be genuine and open about personal desires.
I'm ready to be who are
Affirming the readiness to embrace authenticity in the relationship.
And stop holdin hands in the dark
Declaring an end to secretive behavior and holding hands in the dark.
