Emerson, Take My Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Emerson, I see you by the library doors Balancing your coffee and your books across the floor I say your name, you laugh, and suddenly This whole campus feels like it was built for you and me [Pre-Chorus] Between the lecture halls and late-night study You make an ordinary Tuesday feel like something lucky [Chorus] Emerson, if you take my hand tonight I’ll walk you past the quad beneath the amber lights No grand speech, no perfect plan to prove Just Luke, falling hard, with every step toward you Same college, same sky, different days before Now every hallway leads me to your door Emerson, I don’t need the world to understand I just want tomorrow with your fingers in my hand [Verse 2] You leave a little note beside my borrowed pen A crooked smiley face that I keep reading again We share a table, trade our favorite songs Then lose an hour talking when the study room is gone [Pre-Chorus] The semester rushes by, but I can’t outrun it Every little moment says I’m right where I should be in it [Chorus] Emerson, if you take my hand tonight I’ll walk you past the quad beneath the amber lights No grand speech, no perfect plan to prove Just Luke, falling hard, with every step toward you Same college, same sky, different days before Now every hallway leads me to your door Emerson, I don’t need the world to understand I just want tomorrow with your fingers in my hand [Bridge] When the final bell rings and the caps fly high If you’re still beside me, I’ll be alright Whatever road begins beyond this place I’ll carry this feeling, I’ll remember your face [Final Chorus] Emerson, take my hand and don’t let go We’ll find our way wherever we decide to go No grand speech, no perfect plan to prove Just Luke, choosing you, in every room and every view Same college, same sky, now our story’s at the door And I know I’ll love you more and more Emerson, let the whole wide world understand I want every tomorrow with your fingers in my hand [Outro] Emerson, when the morning comes in blue The first place I’ll be looking is for you
