"Only She Can Hold My Hand" is a song written by Rivers Cuomo, Matt Sharp and Patrick Wilson.
Overview
"Only She Can Hold My Hand" was written by Cuomo and Sharp at some point in 1992, with a chorus section written by Wilson separately. It was rehearsed around April 1992 in the garage, and no demo is known to have been recorded. Wilson's chorus part would be reused for The Special Goodness song "A Fortunate Mistake".[1]
Cuomo uploaded a scan of the handwritten lyrics to his personal website in 2002.
Lyrics
Only I can ride the band
Only you can hold my hand
Only I am in demand
Only she can hold my hand
A little bird has caught the wind
His flight begins just as always
Take me to your leader
Take me to your sin
