JAKE SOMMER - LITTLE HANDS Lyrics

This is not the land I loved once
These are not the ones I knew
Hugs and smiles used to greet us
Singing hymns and laughing, too
I said I
Mmmm
Yeah I said I
Oooh, oooh
At the park they're throwing breadcrumbs
And kids were playing in the street
Different gods but still believing
We had reasons to believe
They had the slip 'n slide out on the front lawn
A Sunday nap or maybe two
Tell a person Merry Christmas
And they say it back to you
Now I'm
Just thinking about life
I said I'm thinking about you
Oh, my darling boy
What are we gonna do
Those were the nights where you held hands while you
Walked through Hollywood
Smiling across the genre stacks
Thinkin' this one she sure looks good
Lazy summer days and winter school days that
Just don't ever seem to end
Had to play with your dumb brother cuz
You couldn't text a friend
Didn't use to live together
And our anthem made us smile
Local stores might close till Monday
Wedding nights still took a while
I said I'm thinking about life
I said I'm thinking about you
Oh, your little hands and smile
Oh, what we gonna do
Ah, your mama and me, son, we just love you
Tried to fight it on my own
Tried to fight it with a crowd
Had some noble moments
But I finally got beat down
Time is like a tidal swell that floods you
My boy, in the past
How come all the good times go, yeah
But bad ones seem to last
I see the people on the freeway searching like its
All on their phone
Face all leanin' 'n a window just thinking
Oh, God, am I all alone
Wish all war and death and famine
In this world wasn't
All just clicks away
Wish you didn't have to look back in 30 years like your mom and dad do today
I said I
I'm thinking about life
I said I
I'm thinking about you
Oh, my darling boy, what we gonna do
Oh, your mama and me, son, we just love you
Just love you
Little hands, little toes, little hearts, and little minds
And all the words and all the dreams and all the ways that we've tried
And all the hugs and long nights and all the memories we're fryin'
And all the wisdom of the ages
Ah, we're lettin' 'em die
And all the choices, all the voices, all the beauty that they need
And the mountains and beaches, it's our family
And the desert sky and the fields and streams
And the lessons of life and of you and of me
I, I'm just thinking about life
I said I'm thinking about you
Oh, my darling boy, what we gonna do
Oh, my darling Bryce boy, I love you
Thinking about life
And I love you
I'm thinking about you
Oh, my Bryc-ee boy now
What we gonna do
I still love you
Still love you
Still love you
