about

Finding the right partner can feel like a long waiting game. “Empty Hands” anticipates the connection two people will have when their paths finally intersect.

lyrics

I was late, you were waiting for me in the wrong place
Stars aligned, but not at the same time
I was late, you were waiting for me in the wrong place
Paid the time no attention and lost the direction

When the time is right we’ll find a way we can
Fill the spaces in between our empty hands

Tried again with a letter that I knew I would never send
Drew a map of your heart and all the ways to keep it from falling apart
Almost called, lost my nerve, ended up staring at the wall
Smoke signal instead, vanished like all those words I should’ve said

When the time is right we’ll find a way we can
Fill the spaces in between our empty hands

I was late, you were waiting for me in the wrong place
Stars aligned, but not at the same time

When the time is right we’ll find a way we can
Fill the spaces in between our empty hands

When the time is right
We can fill our empty hands
