two of us
Hollow Hand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dear friend where did you go tonight?
And did you feel it when you went away?
A mother's son a friend to me
You're never far away but you're getting so hard to see
I saw the two of us, show me the best of us, I'm trying
I heard the news I ran a mile out to the place when we were young
Where nothing could go wrong
What you were looking for?
Though these streets still look the same
I know I won't be seeing you again
But I have known your heart and kindred soul
Trust it, it's what it's for
