Hands Off Honey

[Verse 1] I told myself, "I’m good" Then you walked through the room That red dress hit like rain On a match in a tomb I pray, then I glance away Then I glance right back My hands stay in my pockets But my mind don’t act [Pre-Chorus] I know what I’m chasing It always leaves a scar I keep on reaching for it Then I fall too far Pull me back, pull me back Before I break again I’m trying to choose the clean road While the old one calls my name [Chorus] Hands off, honey I’m fighting my heart Hands off, honey Don’t pull me apart I want the peace I want the light Hands off, honey Help me stay right (Hands off, honey) [Verse 2] Late-night texts, too close Too much heat in the tone One look and I’m halfway To a place I know I don’t want the aftertaste Or the hollow laugh I’ve seen what one weak moment Can do to the path So I breathe, then I back up Even when it burns Every clean goodbye Is a lesson I relearn [Pre-Chorus] I know what I’m chasing It always leaves a scar I keep on reaching for it Then I fall too far Pull me back, pull me back Before I break again I’m trying to choose the clean road While the old one calls my name [Chorus] Hands off, honey I’m fighting my heart Hands off, honey Don’t pull me apart I want the peace I want the light Hands off, honey Help me stay right (Hands off, honey) [Bridge] If I’m honest, I get weak When the wanting gets loud I need more than willpower I need You in the crowd Guard my eyes, guard my mind When the door swings open Turn this hunger into Something holy, something broken [Final Chorus] Hands off, honey I’m fighting my heart Hands off, honey Don’t pull me apart I want the peace I want the light Hands off, honey Help me stay right (Hands off, honey) Hands off, honey I’m choosing what’s true Hands off, honey I’m coming back to You
