Hold Me Down
Alex Gözzel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day And Night
They Keep Screaming
Saying what should I
I`ve been thinking during
All this time
About my questions and my fails
But I, Oooou I
Keep inside
Inside my heart
Where you can look if I
If I ever try to leave my home tonight
No matter what I`ve done
You hold me down
Ouuuu down
Day And Night
They Keep Screaming
Saying what should I
I`ve been thinking during
All this time
About my questions and my fails
But I, Oooou I
Keep inside
Inside my heart
Where you can look if I
If I ever try to leave my home tonight
No matter what I`ve done
You hold me down
Ouuuu down
If I fly to the sky
Or down to the grave your love will find me
If I hide in the dark
Still your light will shine, and your hand will guide me




There's no place to run away from your love
There's no way to run away when you hold me down
