Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
I am breathless
weightless in her arms
nothing felt so much like home
yet I'm restless
the reckless urge to stay alone.
she said "Hold me. Hold me, when you start to lose control.
When you feel like letting go, baby don't."
No one ever could control me, least of all myself, tangled up in consequence.
I remember when she told me she would be the one, spoken with all confidence.
She said "Hold me, that's all I need you to do. Break the skin if you have to, I can take the pain for you."
She said "Hold me, hold me." x2
She said
'Til you feel like you can shout. If you feel it, write it out.
You can push me, I don't care. I'm not going anywhere. x2
I'm not going anywhere.
