Kneejerk - Hand Hold High lyrics

And thenexhale, relax, it's over
Gentle eyelids softly close at
Least the muscles
In my neck are finally softening again
Sofa's, parks and riverbanks
All glow with a little heat - the
Fading traces of a pssion passing through

Novels, necklaces, kit'sch cups
A photo of you at the station these things I
Clutch at and keep them close to my heart
With these memories like cool wind on my back
I grit my teeth and move on
The last notes of parisian
Autumn pianos float
Into corners of empty concert halls
And the air is sweet

I only ever wanted you to
Feel my hands firm on
Your shoulderblades and you fell back
And I caught you
But somehow you kept on falling the other way
A sad smile, a squeeze of my arm
And you drift away
Whatever happened to afternoons of glory
Wasted gently in the sun?
I'm sorry I can't justify and
Words are not enough
So try and understand as we stretch our hands
Hands held high
These innocent hands held high
Above our heads
But, I can never be happy knowing you are sad
