    "That's why sometimes, when we hold hands, every so often, I hold on a little too tight, and I'm sorry. I just don't wanna lose you again."
    Loved that he went high tempo but then broke it down with this line, slow and sweet.

    "Last night I had a dream, and in this particular dream I died in my dreams and woke not knowing I was still sleeping,
    so I had to walk,
    you see, that night, I had to walk in my sleep, I slept through my walk, I walked backwards until I saw you for the first time,
    and I could barely muster the courage to introduce myself all over again.
    You see, I’ve been trying to find the right words. And I’ve been trying to take the right steps, for what seems to me,
    to be thousands of years but something always seems to go wrong, between us.
    We lived in Egypt and I was the Pharaoh slave, you were his daughter. Loving you lead to my death.
    They claimed that I seduced you. And after they stole my life,
    I was resurrected as a Mason. I made the foundation for your house. We met eyes between for two seconds. You left and I didn’t see you again until I died.
    I came back as a caterpillar. I turned into a butterfly. I laid in the palm of your hands. You brushed me away.
    The rejection killed me.
    When I awoke I was a kick drum, you were a snare. We were both owned by this drummer, named Cozy Cole, and when he died, so did we. But I came back just to look for you.
    I left notes in random places hoping that you would stumble across them.
    I carved our names in trees and prayed that it would jog your memory.
    I whispered your name in the wind, hoping somehow, maybe someway, my voice would reach you, but it didn’t, and I died. I died early. I died young with breadcrumbs, in my hand,
    just hoping that you would find me, but you never did,
    so they buried me.
    When they buried me,
    they put these coins over my eyes, and I used them as bus fair,
    to get back to Earth,
    just so I could look for you.
    That’s why, sometimes,
    when we hold hands,
    every so often, I,
    I tend to hold on a little too tight, and I’m sorry.
    I just don’t want to lose you again. My mother told me that when you find the perfect person,
    you do whatever it takes to make sure that she’s next to you.”
