[Verse 1] You moved the cup before I reached I stepped aside before you turned Nobody counted, nobody spoke We never signed it, but we learned [Chorus] It's a handshake, a handshake The hands keep a deal that the head forgot A handshake, a handshake It's older than words and it's all that we've got [Verse 2] The lamp goes off, I know it's you The door is closed, I know the key Ten thousand small agreements Between the body and the body [Bridge] [whispered] If I woke up tomorrow with no memory of your name My hands would still know where to find you My hands would still know where to find you [Final Chorus] It's a handshake, a handshake Nobody wrote it, nobody read it A handshake, a handshake And somehow we've never once broken it
