on the step you handed me
pieces of the plan

at the gate you handed me
pieces of the plan

can I hold it for a week

The band Low are members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In this faith we take the sacrament weekly in doing this we renew our promises to God. They are likely talking about the desire to follow Gods plan and hold it in their hearts throughout the week

The lyrics, imo, are a reference to Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's LDS faith. The Plan is God's plan, renewed via weekly sacrament. The song is prayer between Mimi Parker and her higher power, God. She asks to hold God's word in her heart for the week until she takes her next sacrament. Even though listeners may not share the same faith, the premise is still relatable for anyone asking for strength and inner peace over a period of time (ie: strength to make it through a busy week.) Much like the Serenity Prayer, any listener can use the song's lyrics as a prayer and/or meditation to ask their higher power (or inner strength) for help, even if said help is maintaining calm for the week ahead.

This song could mean many things, but MAYBE it's about the idea of predetermination, a divine plan that one gets...

Beautiful interpretation. My man says that it could also be about wanting to hold on to pieces and parts of something dear to you, like a memory.

I think it’s a song about being served divorce papers. Or, at least the pages that needed signed. It’s something you would hold on to in hopes the other would change their mind. “Can I hold it for a week?” To me, means she wants to wait as long as possible before signing and returning. Finalizing the end of something the singer felt was beautiful love, although no longer being loved back. It feels like a desperate final plea.
