Hands
Bryan Lanning Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fingertips
Find familiar places
Single kiss
It puts me through my paces

Now we can dream
And dream so big
All we wanted was one last night

To feel like this

Fingertips, fingertips
Find familiar places

I rush, I rush to your hands
Your hands rush to mine
Holding me close
Holding me tight
You're never alone
It just feels right
When I'm in your hands
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home

Bodies
Rolling under the veil
A single taste
Can save me from hell

And though we can run
Run so far
All we wanted was here now
Here where we are

Bodies, bodies
Rolling under the veil

I rush, I rush to your hands
Your hands rush to mine
Holding me close
Holding me tight
You're never alone
It just feels right
When I'm in your hands
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home

When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
It feels like home
Yeah, oh
It feels like home
Yeah, oh

I never thought I'd feel this anymore, oh
I never thought I'd feel this anymore, oh

I never thought I'd be here anymore, oh
I never thought I'd be here anymore, oh

I rush, I rush to your hands
Your hands rush to mine
Holding me close
Holding me tight
You're never alone
It just feels right
When I'm in your hands
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home

When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
When I'm in your hands, hands, hands
It feels like home
Yeah, oh
It feels like home
Yeah

This is home
