handprint

You were sittin' on 1st and 5
As the raindrops trickled down
White noise from the heat of August
White flags on the ground

As the night went wearing thin
Drew close, one seat for two
In the heat of your dark apartment
I would find out soon

You were sticking your handprint in the concrete
Of the sidewalk where our paths meet

Sinking in deeper in a heartbeat
On the pathway where you met me

Then I was calling off plans at night
When we would flicker like flame and fall like snow
Now I'm wishin' for your company
And I'm wishin' we could find a way back home

Don't you know I've been waitin' now
To escape the crowds?
It's been long enough, since I've seen you 'round
Every waking hour
I'm retracin' now
(I'm retracin' now
No replacement now)

As the winter turned to summer
It was your reflection in the colors
It was like a breath of one another

Caught a glimpse of higher power
Starin' your direction for the hour
Now that you're a picture on the counter
Oh what I would do, for you and I

You were sticking your handprint in the concrete
Of the sidewalk where our paths meet

Sinking in deeper in a heartbeat
On the pathway where you met me
With your soft gaze, in the cool breeze

Yea, you were sticking your handprint in the concrete
Of our sidewalk, as you held me
Like a promise that you'd make it right

You were sinking in deeper, in a heartbeat
On the pathway where you met me
Now the walls here are all caving
On your handprint in the pavement

Tell me, would you please come back soon?
I don't know what to do
Sitting at a table for two
And i'm here without you

Tell me, would you please come back soon
I'm alone in this room
Staring at the handprint of you

Yea, you were sticking your handprint in the concrete
Of the sidewalk where our paths meet
You held it as the stream ran dry

You were sinking in deeper on that warm night
On the first page of our timeline
Your handprint, your hand in mine
