Putting up a bookshelf becomes an excuse to stand a little closer.

For the one who always finds a reason to help.

A song for: looking back together; somewhere new.

## Lyrics

Hold this for me

You brought a bookshelf in a borrowed van
And spread the screws across my kitchen floor
I made tea and lost the instruction sheet
You said, That never stopped me before

Hold this for me
Don't let go
You're standing closer
Than you need to, you know
Hold this for me
Take it slow

You read the instructions upside down
I turn the page and catch your eye
You say you knew that all along
I say, Of course you did. Nice try

Hold this for me
Don't let go
You're standing closer
Than you need to, you know
Hold this for me
Take it slow

We get the last shelf straight at last
You brush the dust off both your knees
I ask if you can stay for dinner
You say, I thought you'd never ask me

Hold this for me
Don't let go
You're standing closer
Than you need to, you know
Hold this for me
Take it slow
