Story Behind The Song

Inspired by real emotions and struggles, "She Took My Hand" reflects the journey of someone at a crossroads, dealing with internal conflict and the desire to do what's right. It's a song about love's ability to guide and change us, even in our weakest moments. On a personal level, I had someone take my hand in a time of need and it helped me see the power behind someone simply taking your hand. This evoked the idea of a story where a man is tempted to cheat, but right before he acts on it, he reflects on the times his woman took his hand, which causes him to not go through with it.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tossing in my bed like I do most nights
Trying to get a grip with all my mind
I stay curious for all the things mysterious
But, I wish I wasn't walking through this cave
(I wish I could find my way)
I'm at the point of saying "drop all judgement"
Ready to cut off any critic of my suffering
Cause I will always be critic number one
(Tapping out to my battles, I'm done)
Fought my whole life
To do right
And maybe that fight is what makes it wrong
Entangled in freight
Another cry
She wakes up cause she hears my moan

[Chorus]
That's when she took my hand
And said "Whatever it is, just know that I love you"
"Whatever it is, just know that there is nothing I won't do"
"Whatever it is I long to be the thing that can ease your brain"
"Whatever it is... can I help in any way?"

[Interlude]
Oooh Oooh

[Verse 2]
All dressed up and I'm ready to head out
Business usually happens around this hour
I've thought it through and she won't suspect a thing
On my way to make this fantasy the reality
She said "You look extra nice, but you always do"
I told her she's beautiful... I spoke the truth
Now, to the world, I would seem okay (oh oh)
But... But, to my woman, I wear my heart on my face

[Chorus]
So, she took my hand
And said "Whatever it is, just know that I love you"
"Whatever it is, just know that there is nothing I won't do"
"Whatever it is I long to be the thing that can ease your brain"
"Whatever it is... can I help in any way?"

[Interlude]
Man...

[Verse 3]
On a road that I have never traveled before (traveled before)
Text message says "There's no cameras at the back door" (back door)
Now, I'm sitting outside the place to have my affair
And I don't know if I'll go in there
I don't know if I'll go in there

[Chorus]
Cause she took my hand
And said "Whatever it is, just know that I love you"
"Whatever it is, just know that there is nothing I won't do"
"Whatever it is I long to be the thing to ease your brain"
"Whatever it is... can I help in any way?"

[Outro]
I can't do it, man
It's the way she took my hand
I made a change of plans
Cause of the way she took my hand
