Subtle Hand (feat. Kelly Mulhollan)

Laughing in the kitchen
cracking jokes and doing dishes
in my favorite summer dress
and I couldn't hide that I liked you the best
and I catch you looking at me

now we're walking by the water
both bracing for the slaughter
you say love ain't always kind
and in truth I had the same thing on my mind
but I trust the hand that pulls me to your side
and I like walking with you

So would you walk with me my winding streets
and can I swim with you your ocean blue
and the give-and-take of where we meet
let me spend my days with you

Something between us growing
the whole world set in motion
a lightness underfoot
we're planting flowers and we're walking in the woods
and we don't say much, but we both know this is good
and we don't want to jinx it

but now I'm fighting with my troubles
and I'm picking through the rubble
you say we can't heal like this
I always was one of those that don't know when to quit
but you go easy cause you know we're both still kids
and we're still going through it

So would you walk with me my winding streets
and can I swim with you your ocean blue
and the give-and-take of where we meet
let me spend my days with you

something between us frozen
this old world keeps on going
and they do return the rains
and our world grows green again
some subtle hand by which we've rearranged our dreams
that they might fit together
That they might bear the weather
now we're laughing in the kitchen
cracking jokes and doing dishes
and how the years go by
and how strong I have grown standing by your side
just as steady and as changing as the tide
is the love that guides us

So would you walk with me my winding streets
and can I swim with you your ocean blue
and the give-and-take of where we meet
let me spend my days with you
