Hands
Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
If we could just find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Ah then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own you'll be on your own
And tonight as I lie in that big lonely bed
And I look at the pillow where you laid your head
And if you can forget all the good times we had
If you think that the good times don't outweigh the bad
Ah then let's just sign our names and I'll be on my way I'll be on my way mhm mhm
In the lyrics to "Hands" by Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan, the singer reflects on a crucial moment in their relationship where they are facing a significant decision. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and sadness as they discuss signing their names and parting ways. The act of signing their names symbolizes a formal agreement or contract, in this case marking the end of their relationship as one person prepares to leave on a train. The mention of being "free" and feeling "alone" suggests a mix of emotions for both parties, with the singer grappling with the impending separation.
The lyrics also touch upon the complexities of love and forgiveness. The singer questions whether they can rebuild the love they once shared and make amends for past mistakes. The longing for reconciliation is palpable as they express a desire to make things right and avoid being left alone. There is a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability as they wonder if their efforts will be enough to salvage the relationship before it's too late. The theme of regret and yearning for a second chance is evident in the plea for forgiveness and a chance to start anew.
The imagery of the empty bed and the memory of the partner's presence linger in the singer's mind, highlighting the emptiness and longing they feel in their absence. The reference to the pillow where their partner used to lay their head conveys a sense of intimacy and closeness that is now lost. The internal struggle of the singer is depicted as they grapple with conflicting emotions of heartache and possibly unrequited love. The yearning to kiss and hold their partner one last time reflects a deep emotional connection that is hard to let go.
In the final verses, the singer contemplates the possibility of moving on and accepting that their relationship may no longer be salvageable. The resigned tone suggests a bittersweet acceptance of the situation, as they acknowledge that sometimes the good times may not outweigh the bad. The decision to part ways and let go is portrayed as a painful but necessary step towards healing and finding closure. The act of signing their names and parting ways symbolizes a finality that is tinged with sadness and the realization that it's time to move forward, even if it means saying goodbye.
