Hand In Hand
Walking On Cars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I walk this it's an easier way home
Hand in hand with someone I don't know
Beautiful and maybe tonight
And then the morning comes and then the morning comes
Now I wish I was alone again
Now I wish I could remember your name
Now I wish I was alone again
Coffee, cigarette, goodbye

Strangers connect tonight
But we don't know why
And we don't know how
But we could fall into each other now

But if I make my into the back of your mind
Hand in hand but I know you this time
Beautiful and I know it's right
And then the morning comes and then the morning comes
I never wanna be alone again
And now I know that I remember your name
I never wanna be alone again
Coffee, cigarette, goodbye

Strangers connect tonight
But we don't know why
And we don't know how
But we could fall into each other now

Strangers connect tonight
But we don't know why
And we don't know how
But we could fall into each other now
Or we could fall into each other now

Oh maybe
Oh maybe
Oh maybe
We could fall into each other now

Strangers connect tonight
But we don't know why
And we don't know how
But we could fall into each other now
But we could fall into each other now
But we could fall into each other now
Strangers connect tonight
Strangers connect tonight
But we don't know why
But we could fall into each other now
Strangers connect tonight




Strangers connect tonight
But we don't know why

Line by Line Meaning

If I walk this it's an easier way home
Taking this path might be quicker than the usual one but it's also unfamiliar


Hand in hand with someone I don't know
Walking with a stranger who is also taking this route like I am


Beautiful and maybe tonight
There is something enchanting and unique about this night and this walk


And then the morning comes and then the morning comes
This night will eventually end and turn into the next day


Now I wish I was alone again
After spending time with someone, I now feel the need to be alone once more


Now I wish I could remember your name
Despite enjoying the walk with the stranger, I have forgotten their name


Now I wish I was alone again
The feeling of wanting to be alone has intensified


Coffee, cigarette, goodbye
A simple and brief farewell without any emotion or connection
