Hand in Hand
Clare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I lay down, my weary head
And I recall all my actions
And the careless words I've said

I'm gonna make a vow
That when it's day
I'm not gonna make the mistakes
That I got wrong yesterday

If I think good, it's gonna be good
And I'll only say the words
That I know I'll probably should

If I think good, it's gonna be good
And I'll only say the words
That I know a person should
'Cause it ain't no secret
No it ain't no secret
'Cause it ain't no, no, no, no

Heavy hands, gotta carry them lightly
Carry them lightly, oh
Heavy heart, so you better tread softly
Better tread softly, oh

You might trip
You might fall

If I'm beat down, feeling small
I remember even giants have the tendency to fall
If the actions of a man can change the entire universe
I wanna change it for the better,
I don't wanna make it worse

If I do good, it has to be good
And I'm gonna be much stronger
Than I ever thought I could
If I do good, it has to be good
And I'm gonna be much stronger
Than I ever thought I could

'Cause it ain't no secret
No it ain't no secret
'Cause it ain't no, no, no, no
You know, know, know, know

Heavy hands, gotta carry them lightly
Carry them lightly, oh

Heavy hands, gotta carry them lightly
Carry them lightly, oh (no no no no no no no)
Heavy heart, so you better tread softly
Better thread softly, oh

Heavy hands, gotta carry them lightly
Carry them lightly, oh (no no no no no no no)
Heavy heart, so you better tread softly
Better thread softly, oh

You might trip
You might fall
You might trip
You might fall
You might trip
You might fall
You might trip
You might fall
You might trip





You might fall, you might fall

It's no problem! I really hope she loses it to Eli they're perfect for each other. I'm so happy they're back together, but I hope he doesn't graduate this year :-(

Nomsies

Wow! That's interesting! Well, thanks so much for replying, and for initially trying to make it darker; I really wanted to know this. I had a feeling they might... but I guess we'll have to wait and see!

msmolly

lindsey nicole

Is Clare wearing her purity ring...? I can't see it, but maybe that was just a mistake that Aislinn isn't wearing it in this scene. Or maybe she is, and I just can't see it... Ugh! I need to know these things! Haha.

Nomsies

I believe she isn't! The first scene where they see each other in the party and kiss she is though so maybe after the party they did it? I tried making her hand darker in that hand hold scene and I don't think she is wearing it :D
