Did I need to place my heart in the palm of your hand before I could even start to understand?

Alright, I think it's time for a return to Depeche Mode. This line comes from the song "Only When I Lose Myself." Like so many other songs by this band and many others, this is a love song.

The power of love is an amazing thing. In the matter of minutes, a man who is so depressed that he is not living but simply existing can turn into the happiest man you have ever laid eyes upon. It can soften a hardened heart. It can turn a pessimist into an optimist. I have seen it time and again. I also have experienced it. Everything changed around me. But different people experience different types of love. This song talks about the one I tend to experience the most. You meet someone, and it's an almost immediate click. You fall head over heels for them. You lose yourself in the feelings of happiness and love. Only then do you feel that you find who you really are. Only then do you feel that life can be good.
