Hands to Myself
Ashley Kutcher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know we probably wouldn’t be good together
I know you talked about that girl likes she’s your forever
And I know that I’m probably patiently waiting for never
And I wonder when I layed next to you, were you thinking of her
But It’s really my fault, cause I never told how much I really think about you
How much I really want you
And it’s really all my fault
Cause I never made my move on you when I had the chance to
But I don’t really to understand you
So I keep my hands to myself now
But I don’t want to keep my hands to myself now
I know you only call when when it’s late and you’re lonely
I know that I always hope it’s your name when my phone rings
And I know it all sounds crazy, I know you will never call me baby
Still I ignore the warnings, I think about you I can’t sleep
But It’s really my fault, cause I never told how much I really think about you
How much I really want you
And it’s really all my fault
Cause I never made my move on you when I had the chance to
But I don’t really to understand you
So I keep my hands to myself now
But I don’t want to keep my hands to myself now
But It’s really my fault, cause I never told how much I really think about you
How much I really want you
And it’s really all my fault
Cause I never told you how I could move on and live without you
But I just really never want to




So I keep my hands to myself now
But I don’t want to keep my hands to myself now
