handprint Lyrics

We 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

I've been chasin' down

A 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'm alone in this room

Sitting at a table for two

And i'm here without you

Tell me, would you please come back soon

I don't know what to do

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
