Hands
Paxton Ingram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the breeze blow into a wicked wind
Oh god where do I begin to tell you I'm sorry
We're in the middle of it tonight
Three hearts, one fight for my love
And somehow everybody's losing
Is it too late now, to start again
These hands
I hold
Are turning my heart into stone
Oh tonight when your all mine
I feel your love and I know it's wasted
Here in these hands I own
Here in these hands I own
So how could we try again
When every wall built starts caving in
We're now waiting for the end to say it's all over
Is it too late now to turn back, to turn around oh
Is it too late now to start again oh
These hands
I hold
Are turning, my heart, into stone
Oh tonight, when your all mine
I feel your love and I know it's wasted
Here in these hands I own
In these hands
I own
Yeah yeah yeah
In these hands, I own
In these hand, In these hands
No we can't win
No we can't win
We're losing
in these hands I own
These hands
I hold
Are turning, my heart, into stone
Oh tonight, when your all mine
I feel your love and I know it's wasted
Here in these hands I own
Here in these hands I own
The song "Hands" by Paxton Ingram is a powerful ballad about a failing relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of regret about past actions that have caused damage to the relationship, and the struggle to salvage what remains. The opening lines of "Oh no I've done it again, let the breeze blow into a wicked wind" suggest that the singer has made some bad decisions, and allowed things to spiral out of control. The following lines "Oh god where do I begin to tell you I'm sorry, we're in the middle of it tonight, three hearts, one fight for my love, and somehow everybody's losing" further emphasize the feelings of regret and hopelessness.
The chorus of the song, "These hands I hold are turning my heart into stone, oh tonight when you're all mine, I feel your love and I know it's wasted, here in these hands I own," describes how the singer is overwhelmed by the weight of their mistakes, and how they are unable to fully appreciate the love that their partner has to offer. The song ends with a sense of defeat, as the singer realizes that they are unable to fix what has been broken.

Oh no I've done it again
I've made a mistake that is all too familiar
Let the breeze blow into a wicked wind
Allowing small things to get out of hand
Oh god where do I begin to tell you I'm sorry
I don't know how to start apologizing
We're in the middle of it tonight
We're in the midst of a difficult situation tonight
Three hearts, one fight for my love
Three people are involved in a fight for my love
And somehow everybody's losing
Despite the fight, nobody is coming out on top
Is it too late now, to turn back, to turn around
Is it impossible to go back and start over?
Is it too late now, to start again
Is there no chance to begin anew?
These hands
I hold
Are turning my heart into stone
My actions are making me cold and unfeeling
Oh tonight when your all mine
I feel your love and I know it's wasted
Tonight, even when we're together, your love is not enough
Here in these hands I own
I am responsible for the situation we are in
So how could we try again
When every wall built starts caving in
We can't try again when everything is falling apart
We're now waiting for the end to say it's all over
We're waiting for the inevitable end to come
In these hands, In these hands
I am the one who has control
No we can't win
We're losing
in these hands I own
We're not going to win and it's my fault
