Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I miss the words we used to say
I miss the sounds of yesterday
I miss the games we used to play like, oh
I was trapped inside a dream
I couldn't see her next to me
I didn't know she'd set me free like, oh
[Verse 2]
Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other, mmm
[Verse 3]
Everything looks different now
All this time my head was down
He came along and showed me how to let go
I can't remember where I'm from
All I know is who I've become
That our love has just begun like, oh
[Verse 4]
Something happens when I hold him
He keeps my heart from getting broken
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit frozen
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other, mmm
[Verse 5]
Yo, if I'm stressin' you, that blessin' that's sent from Heaven
These days start to feel like hours and hours feel more like seconds
People judged us, they couldn't see the connection
When I look at you, it's like I'm lookin' back at my reflection
I don't see nothin' different, our pigments, they coincide
We hold each other so tight they couldn't break us if they tried
My eyes are those of the blind, I see no color or size
I feel the love in your touch and I trust what's inside your mind, okay
[Verse 6]
I know that we've been through a lot
I know that we both grew up
You know I missed you a lot
When I was young, I was dumb
Didn't think you'd fit in my plot
And I appreciate the break because I love what we got now
[Verse 7]
You give me chills and I can't imagine you leavin'
If I could build a perfect person, honestly, you would be it
And you know nobody knows you like I know you
I can't wait to come back home so I can hold you, yeah
[Verse 8]
Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other, mmm
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other, mmm
