Dan in Real Life movie - Human Hands lyrics

rate me

Song by Sondre Lerche and The Faces Down Quartet<br /><br>

I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me <br>

Oh darling how I miss you <br>

I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness <br>

I crave the silhouette of your kiss <br>

With only the blue light of the TV on <br>

Lip reading threats and false alarms <br>

There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself <br>

And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn <br>

Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt <br>

That it's you that I'm dreaming about <br>

Do I have to draw you a diagram? <br>

All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands <br>

<br>

With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze <br>

Checkmate in three moves in your heyday <br>

But the girls don't listen to your line anymore <br>

Now you're part of someone else <br>

<br>

On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?" <br>

Now you manufacture happiness <br>

And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction <br>

<br>

(chorus) <br>

<br>

All you toy soldiers and scaremongers <br>

Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder <br>

In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all before <br>

<br>

Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly <br>

You know I love you more than slightly <br>

Although I've never said it like this before <br>

<br>

(chorus) <br>

<br>
