I had all and then most of you

Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

The song Small Hands is about not being able to handle a burden of emotions at the same time. We always think people with bigger hands can handle more. But it’s never enough even with us having small hands and we lose the things we never meant to. No matter how small or big your hands are, the more you try to fill them the more they will spill. It reminds us that we are vulnerable.  

Small Hands lyrics

Miss you terribly already,
Miss the space between your eyelids,
Where I’d stare through awkward sentences
And avoid through awkward silence

Miss your teeth when they chatter,
When we smoked out in my garden
When we couldn’t sleep for all the heat,
Soft talk began to harden.

Fast car lyrics

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven,
so I got to be good
So I can see my baby
when I leave this world

Everybody Hurts – R.E.M

The song was released as a ray of hope in the sad world.

Everybody hurts lyrics

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you’re sure you’ve had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don’t let yourself go
Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
