Unwrapped Hands [Intro] Snow on the steps, lights flicker on late Paper cuts from tape, I still can’t wait [Verse 1] Back when December meant tearing at seams Cheap toys, loud laughter, impossible dreams Mom counting change at the kitchen sink I’d swear that magic lived under the tree Socks felt like gold when your feet ran cold Every small win felt massive back then Didn’t know the weight of a dollar or time Just knew that love showed up wrapped in a line [Chorus] It hits different now, I finally see The giving weighs more than what’s given to me When hands are empty but hearts still try That’s when the gift feels amplified [Verse 2] Teenage broke, pride stitched to my coat Bought you a mixtape, burned notes I wrote Couldn’t buy diamonds, couldn’t buy peace So I gave you hours I couldn’t keep Now the bills stack tall like the winter snow Still wrapping hope in what I can show Funny how less feels heavier now But it still means more when you figure it out [Bridge 1] There’s a quiet math they never teach Value ain’t numbers, it’s who you reach Time is the currency we all spend fast You feel it most when you look back [Verse 3] Now I’m the one hiding receipts Making miracles out of missing pieces Kids think the box is the whole damn thing They don’t see the hours or the sacrifices in between Another year older, still learning the scale Success ain’t stuff, it’s who you don’t fail If I can give presence when presents are thin Then I’m richer than I’ve ever been [Chorus] It hits different now, I finally see The giving weighs more than what’s given to me When hands are empty but hearts still try That’s when the gift feels amplified [Bridge 2] We all stand somewhere on the same damn road Different miles, but the load’s our own Don’t measure life by someone else’s frame Just ask if you showed up, ask if you gave [Chorus] It hits different now, I finally see The giving weighs more than what’s given to me When hands are empty but hearts still try That’s when the gift feels amplified [Chorus] It hits different now, I finally see The giving weighs more than what’s given to me Yeah, hands are empty but hearts still try That’s when the gift feels amplified [Outro] Lights go out, but the meaning stays We’re all just wrapping time these days Loop It hits different now, I finally see The giving weighs more than what’s given to me Yeah, hands are empty but hearts still try That’s when the gift feels amplified
