In Your Hands
Virtual Riot feat. Katy Held Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish I could breathe underwater,
So I could dive into your sea.
Wish you could sail into my harbour,
So I can keep you close to me.

Never give it all away
To make somebody stay
That's what they used to say.

But I can give you more,
You see you've got the best of me.

I am floating on air,
'Cause you blow me away.

I am floating on air, floating on air,
My head is in the clouds,
And my heart is in your hands.

(My heart is in your hands)

Wish I could breathe underwater,
So I could dive into your sea.
Wish you could sail into my harbour,
So I can keep you close to me.

Never give it all away
To make somebody stay
That's what they used to say.

But I can give you more,
You see you've got the best of me.

I am floating on air,
'Cause you blow me away.

I am floating on air, floating on air,
My head is in the clouds,
And my heart is in your hands.

(My heart is in your hands)

I am floating on air,
'Cause you blow me away.

I am floating on air, floating on air,




My head is in the clouds,
And my heart is in your hands.

Overall Meaning

In "In Your Hands" by Virtual Riot feat. Katy Held, the singer wishes she could breathe underwater so that she could dive into her lover's sea. She wants her lover to sail into her harbor so that they can be close together. She acknowledges the warnings of never giving everything to someone just to make them stay which is what people used to say. However, she wants to give more to her lover because they have the best of her. She declares that she is floating on air because her lover blows her away; her heart is in their hands.


The lyrics primarily speak of the depth of love and how it can make one feel. The metaphor of diving underwater and sailing into a harbor is used to show how much the singer wants to be close to her lover. Likewise, when she says that her head is in the clouds, it means that she is overwhelmed by her emotions, and her heart is entirely in the hands of her lover. The expression "blows me away" is the same as saying that she is awestruck, or the love is too much.


Overall, the song “In Your Hands” is about the emotional bond between the two people and how the love makes them feel. It expresses the singer’s desire to be close to her partner, and she is willing to give more to them since they have the best of her.
