When I Hold you Now I Hold You Tighter Lyrics by Joel Baker
Hush Now My Fears
2022
[Intro: Joel Baker] Oh, make me whole, yeah yeah yeah, oh [Verse 1: Joel Baker] When I hold you now, I hold you tighter When I lift you high, I hold you right up As the kite descends I hold you to my side like my life depends I see death almost everywhere, it’s like a spider sense But I can’t find the sense The only answer I know is how the rock outgrows the waves How the moon outgrows the morning Like these words outgrow the page Clouds loom above, they taunt me As they float above the pain [Verse 2: Joel Baker] Has it changed me? When I hold you now, I hold you tighter An embrace with a stranger And we’re reunited See our love will always guard us My comfort though we’ve parted Is that a tree grows into the light And also grows into the darkness When I hold you [Spoken Outro: Sophia Thakur] They say, what is grief, if not love persevering? So what are tears if not the sound of me Hearing your voice soaking my skin to live again? To in some ways, hold me Push against me like a kiss, console me I wish we never shook hands I wish time never told love how to act once a boy became a man I would have collected enough kisses to trade in for one more day Just to hear you say that things will be okay Once the sun sets on the pain But I can hardly believe the rain ever feels less wet And in an ocean of regret I still look for reason Rest on God’s plan for the seasons But how can love, possess such a paradox That it promises to weave itself into the flesh of our day But then pass away And that thread becomes grief shooting all over me I pull sisters and strangers that much closer to me To compress the size of your absence Your light refuses to vanish A headstone reflecting the planets A supernova exit that no sky could ever manage The clouds hang heavy balancing on bowed necks I hug everyone that much closer, because who’s next? Stamp every memory of your heart on my raw flesh When I hold you now, I feel how grief can undress And naked, become remnants of whatever love left
