Two Door Cinema Club – Handshake lyrics
So what became of loving man
And what became of you
Familiar as you shook my hand
What was it you meant to do?
Because all could change for one
And all, could change in this new today

She said the devil will want you back
And you'll never find love in an open hand

Shut your eyes, so you see I'm there
And know you'll always have this if you see this man

She said the devil will want you back
And you'll never find love in an open hand
Shut your eyes, so you see I'm there
And know you'll always have this if you see this man

I lied, this was not for my pride
I know this was my time

She said the devil will want you back
And you'll never find love in an open hand
Shut your eyes, so you see I'm there
And know you'll always have this if you see this man

So when nobody will take you back
And you'll never find love in an open hand
Shut your eyes, and you'll see I'm there
And know you'll always have this if you see this man

    This song is about how love isn’t easy to find, it’s never in an “open hand”. You have to look for it. Near the end, if the protagonist would not ever change his ways, he would stay lonely, nobody would want to take him back. Love isn’t an easy exchange like a simple handshake. It’s more complicated than that. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. Something as stand still as a handshake would never work in a relationship.
