shaking hands

from The Good Times by Hannah Fairlight

/

about

this song is about leaving a failed true love and the ripple effect it has on life after - intimacy turning into cordial formality. a deep best friend demoted to a distant acquaintance.

lyrics

suitcase
and the feeling that I'm leaving something
embrace
so appropriately
like a handshake

and all I ever wanted
was to find a common ground
I found one

without you
my adventures only I will know of
history
locked inside of my selective memory

and all I ever wanted
was to have your pretty voice remind me

coffee (breakfast)
never so romantic inside a taxi (like it should be)
meetings (deal with my decision)
with the people all convinced they know me (that I want to live a pubic life)

and all I ever wanted
was to make it by your side
I tried

**instrumental**

stages
like the highs and lows of our devotion
praises
that I teach myself to fill the spaces

and all I ever wanted
was to leave my pride behind
all I ever wanted
was to learn just what I want

places
in the world I choose to go and see and to
embrace
so appropriately
like a handshake
