lyrics

HAND TO HOLD
maybe the weather was just never cold enough
to need a hand to hold
maybe it’s whether you could be bold enough
to reach for someone to love

but it isn’t the cards that you’re showing
that could make you risk playing a hand
its only you you’re fooling
when you walk away without placing a bet

maybe the nights were just never long enough
to see there’s something to gain
maybe you could never be strong enough
to try and win love again

the key to your heart
is hidden away
safe in the dark
is all that you dream
but you never can say

the key to your heart
is buried away
somewhere in the dark
is all that you dream
but you never can say

maybe the weather was just never cold enough
to need a hand to hold
maybe it’s whether you could be bold enough
to reach for someone to love
