Palms - Rationale

These hands

The story I could tell with these hands

Everything that I’ve done

Don’t be told by trace and fingertips down my palms

Like you are right now, right now

I open up my palms to you

So I can let you in

This window to my soul

That I wear on my skin

Open up my palms for you

So I can let you in

This window to my soul

That I wear on my skin

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They’re an open book

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They open up for you

These hands

The glory I’ve held with these hands

Every war that I’ve won

I fought them all so I could lay in bed in your arms

With no fear of no one

I open up my palms to you

So I can let you in

This window to my soul

That I wear on my skin

Open up my palms for you

So I can let you in

This window to my soul

That I wear on my skin

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They are an open book

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They open up for you

They’re an open book

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

They open up for you

Everything of these heights left is mine

Each breath, every break they have

Everything of these heights left is mine

Each breath, every break they have

I open up my palms to you

So I can let you in

This window to my soul

That I wear on my skin

Said I open up my palms for you

So I can let you in

This window to my soul

That I wear on my skin

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They’re an open book

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They open up for you
