Hold Me Down

Maybe I'm crazy I've

Been talking to myself at night

And I'm feelin' so alone

If I could get the words out right

To tell you how I feel I might

But they're coming out so wrong

Then the voices they come rushin' in

Like a ten ton truck into soft cement

Now the words make sense, but I can't repeat

Because sense don't make what it used to be

I'm here, my love, but I'm floating, baby

Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind

You tied a tether here to keep me close

I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell

But it got better when you didn't go

Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here

And I won't need any more

Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind

You know I'd really hate to see me float

I tremble when I see your eyes

I saw then in a dream last night

And they heard me sing a song

I never cared for fancy art

Or poetry on old guitars

But they always sing along

Then the notes fill up like a big balloon

As I'm drifting upwards away from you

Now I'm screaming mad with two clenched hands

Will beauty come if I don't land?

I'm here, my love, but I'm floating, baby

Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind

You tied a tether here to keep me close

I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell

But it got better when you didn't go

Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here

And I won't need any more

Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind

You know I'd really hate to see me float

Write it to myself at night

As long as you're here I'll be all alright

Write it to myself at night

As long as you're here I'll be all alright

Write it to myself at night

As long as you're here I'll be all alright

I'm here, my love, but I'm

I'm here, my love, but I'm floating, baby

Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind

You tied a tether here to keep me close

I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell

But it got better when you didn't go

Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here

And I won't need any more

Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind

You know I'd really hate to see me float
