I Want to Hold Your Hand

Al Green

"Yeah, we got the feelin' now
We got the feelin' now
Shut up, Al Green
Oh boy, that ol', all right, babe"

Ooh yeah, I, I'll tell you something, girl
I think I, I think you'll understand
And when I, girl, I say that little something to ya
I wanna hold your hand
I gotta hold you every day, yeah
I gotta hold you, oh

Oh please, girl, say to me, baby
Honey say you'll let me be your man
And oh please, please say to me
Walk up and tell me
"I wanna hold your hand"
I wanna hold your hand, baby
Gotta, gotta hold your hand
Ooh yeah

And when I touched you I sure felt, feel so happy inside, baby
It's such a feeling that, my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide

Oh you, baby, got that something, girl
I know that you'll understand
And when I, girl, I say that little something to ya
I wanna hold your hand
I gotta hold you every day, yeah
I wanna hold ya in the evening now
I gotta hold ya every day now
Come on and honey, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me (aah!)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
