I still remember the cut that you had on the left side of your palm
The very first night that you held my hand
It was cut and callused but it felt so soft in mine
That touch was the catalyst
We were destined to end in fire
But I'd watch us burn all night if I could be yours for a while
And you would pretend to be mine
Because in the darkest parts of nighttime my mind comes alive
And I lay here and wonder what it might be like if you held my hand under the covers
And for just one night we could pretend to be lovers
And I know that you know I'm not what you want
But sometimes I wonder if you were the one
So can we just hold hands this once
Can we just hold hands this once?
I wore this dress for you
You told me that its your favourite kind of blue
She wore red but you still preferred it
She's bought you your favourite drink but she forgot to ask for a lime in it
You make sure not to look my way cause I never made that mistake
Because in the darkest parts of nighttime my mind comes alive
And I lay here and wonder what it might be like if you held my hand under the covers
And for just one night we could pretend to be lovers
And I know that you know I'm not what you want
But sometimes I wonder if you were the one
So can we just hold hands this once
Can we just hold hands this once?
I won't tell anyone
Anyone
Can we just hold hands this once?
I won't tell anyone
Because in the darkest parts of nighttime my mind comes alive
And I lay here and wonder what it might be like if you held my hand under the covers
And for just one night we could pretend to be lovers
And I know that you know I'm not what you want
But sometimes I wonder if you were the one
So can we just hold hands this once
Can we just hold hands this once?
I won't tell anyone
