[Verse 1]
Well, I will call you darlin' and everything will be okay
'Cause I know that I am yours and you are mine
Doesn't matter anyway
In the night, we'll take a walk, it's nothin' funny
Just to talk
[Chorus]
Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
Until I make you mine
[Verse 2]
Well, I have called you darlin' and I'll say it again, again
So kiss me 'til I'm sorry, babe, that you are gone and I'm a mess
And I'll hurt you and you'll hurt me and we'll say things we can't repeat
[Chorus]
Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
Until I make you mine
[Bridge]
You need to know
We'll take it slow
I miss you so
We'll take it slow
It's hard to feel you slipping (You need to know)
Through my fingers are so numb (We'll take it slow)
And how was I supposed to know (I miss you so)
That you were not the one?
[Chorus]
Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
Until I make you mine
Put your hand in mine
You know that I want to be with you all the time
Oh darlin', darlin', baby, you're so very fine
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
Until I make you—

After high school, I went to a music conservatory here in Cincinnati, Ohio, mostly because I didn’t really know what else to do with my life… One of the classes I had to...
Matt: The song came about very, very naturally. I was actually in a keyboard class in the music conservatory I was attending for a couple of years. I was supposed to be working on a scale and I ended up playing those two notes. Dun dun dun dun dun. And I immediately abandoned what I was working on a...
Matt: John was like, “Guys I’ve got a really good tune I just wrote in class. I actually got in trouble for it. So just like bear with me, I’ve got some lyrics down, I’ve got a melody down” And we’re like, “Well that’s cool. Just give us a few chords and we’ll actually go and play it if you guys wan...
One of the things I remember after we finished the song is I went over to her house and she lived in this neighborhood that had a neighborhood pool, and we used to sit at this neighborhood pool, and I would open the trunk of my car, and we would just sit there and talk. Adorable. One time I opened i...
