[Verse 1]
You keep saying you’ve been working late
Funny how your stories always change
I don’t mind a little mystery
But you keep leaving fingerprints on everything
You call it bad luck
I call it a pattern
You call it timing
I call it a habit
Either way you’re making quite a mess
[Pre-Chorus]
Lucky for you
I’m good with my hands
[Chorus]
I’m good with my hands
I can fix a broken zipper
Fix a record when it skips
Fix a picture hanging crooked
Fix a sentence on your lips
I’m good with my hands
But baby here’s the problem
Some things don’t come apart in pieces
They come apart in plans
And I’m good with my hands
[Verse 2]
You keep showing up with perfect lines
Like they came with the shirt and matching tie
Everybody loves the polished version
I always liked what’s hiding underneath
You sell confidence
Like it’s wholesale
But every little crack
Tells a different tale
And I’ve been reading subtitles all along
[Pre-Chorus]
Lucky for you
I’m good with my hands
[Chorus]
I’m good with my hands
I can fix a broken zipper
Fix a record when it skips
Fix a picture hanging crooked
Fix a sentence on your lips
I’m good with my hands
But baby here’s the problem
Some things don’t come apart in pieces
They come apart in plans
And I’m good with my hands
[verse 3 - beat change and fun]
Look
You got charm
You got timing
You got confidence for miles
Got a smile that says forever
And attention spans of five
Everybody buys the package
I was reading all the terms
You were selling me a future
While avoiding all the verbs
That’s cool
No hard feelings
I learned something from the show
A good magician fears the audience
That already knows
[Final Chorus]
I’m good with my hands
I can mend a little damage
Turn a heartbreak into art
Turn a lesson into rhythm
Turn a goodbye into a start
I’m good with my hands
But I finally understand
The one thing worth fixing
Was never you
It was me lowering my standards
And I’m good with my hands
[Outro]
Lucky for you
Lucky for me
I’m good with my hands
