Hold Back the Night
Beck Robin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna beg you to stay
I don't wanna take up your time
I don't wanna make up your time
I don't wanna pull on your life
Gotta see the love in your eyes
Hold back the night
Hold on to our love
'Cause it's slipping away
Don't close the door
Before you know
Hold back the night
And I won't let you go
I don't wanna freeze here outside
I don't wanna hurt anymore
I don't wanna rip in my heart
I don't wanna the bleeding to start
Standing in the shadow of doubt
Knowing that our time's running out
Hold back the night
Keep the morning away
Hold on to our love
'Cause it's slipping away
Don't close the door
Before you know
Hold back the night
And I won't let you go
Just a little bit longer
Just a little more time
Hold back the night
Keep the morning away
Hold on to our love
'Cause it's slipping away
Don't close the door
Before you know
Hold back the night
And I won't let you go
Hold back the night
(Hold back the night)
Hold on to our love
(Hold on to our love)
Hold back the night
(Hold back the night)
Hold on to our love
(Hold on to our love)
Hold back the night
(Hold back the night)
Hold on to our love
(Hold on to our love)
Hold back the night
(Hold back the night)
Hold on to our love
(Hold on to our love)
