Palms touch and fingers meet
Hold my hand to cross the street
Outstretched arm when you reach

When life is late and time is old
I hope it’s still *your* hand that I hold
song lyrics concept: a story progression of times in your life anchored by hand holding
- You are/were there to hold my hand
- I wish you were here to hold my hand
I was learning to talk/walk, you were there to hold my hand (you = parent)
young at heart, tender blah, you were there to hold my hand (you=sweetheart)
grandpa has past, I remember when he used to hold my hand
old couple blah, will die together, while holding my hand
Soooo…… how to write a chorus and not water down the hook in the verses?

Almost hand touching, but not quite. We let the hands get so close, like the young used to do, but hearts belong to another, we not available to allow that to happen, so the hands are refrained by a very conscious decision to not let them touch because touching hands is too intimate. Even the west does not shake hands, they bow, they don’t touch each other. This was to avoid conflict because they’re unable to decipher friend from foe, so don’t touch to avoid conflict.
