Hand Over Hand

Oh, little love
Hold me down, I've had enough
Oh, falling fast and screaming loud
I'm finding ways to drown it out
I'm hoping you can hold me down
People change
Start falling in and out of pairs
For now it all just really hurts
And I need you to hold my hand

Little love, I'm lost and might be never found
I'm hoping you can help me out
Gone, a fallen face among the crowd
I'm losing at the speed of sound
I'm hoping you can hold me down
All the same, I'm a broken ship without a sail
And nothing really seems to work
So I need you to hold me like when

We went walking through backyards
Asking what is in store for us, just looking around
'Cause right there I was above it all
My back up against a wall
My lips on your brow
Hey, baby, you can hold me down

Oh, little love
I'm searching for a plot of ground
I know that you can calm me down
Broken boy, yet to find a way around
A dark and ever-growing cloud
That has him always looking down
Her voice is like a morning sun
Her touch is like a burning flare
The hope that hides inside the cloud
Returns to me when she is there

I was climbing up out of a well
While we were getting lost in the pillows
Feeling fine and then getting sicker
There you were, but where was I
Just hold me close, baby, hold me high
Finding warmth beneath the covers
When I had nothing, we still had each other
We were alone outside of time
So hold me close while I start to climb

Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over
Hand over hand, over hand, over hand, over hand

My little love I wanna leave
Turn out the lights and be at ease
I feel I live along the brim
Of giving up and giving in
So hear me now without mistake
In case I falter and I break
Without a doubt, let me be clear
You are the reason I'm still here
