Hands In Pockets Lyrics

Up with the sunrise you'll be staring
Out through the window of the day
I'll be another waking shadow
Cast on the covers of your bed

Give me another waking moment
Shine against the solemn grate
Tell me the seasons is almost over
I can wait

So goes another winter slowy
Hands in the pockets of my coat
You'll be first to spin your story
I'll be the last to let you go

Tell me you always go before me
Out along the solemn grate
Tell me the season is almost over
I can wait

When in day light leaves you staring
Out in another under tow
I'll be tired conversation
I'll be waiting, get home

Tell me you always go before me
Out along the solemn grate
Tell me the season is almost over
I can wait I can wait I can wait

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Laura Gibson is an amazing songwriter. Such a shame that no one else has said anything yet. I guess Nickelback and James Blunt get most of the attention around here. You go girl!

I adore this song; the entire idea of waiting on a loved one, or one you love who may not love you back, fascinates me.

Laura had this to say about the song from her Daytrotter Session:

"I had thought up the first verse of this song and was humming the melody in my head several months before actually sitting down to write it. I never thought that I would write something so catchy…I love playing it. The song is about surviving the winter and other harsh seasons, and how we find ourselves stumbling towards (sometimes away from) intimacy with another person…be it a lover a friend or family."
