Lyrics

Spoon

Held

From Lucifer On the Sofa2022

Written by Bill Callahan

Produced by Mark Rankin

Lyrics

Held

[Verse 1]

For the first time in my life

I let myself be held, yeah

Like a big old baby

And I surrender

Mmm, to your charity, whoa

I let the jets fly

Not wishing for their destruction

Orange and black

In a perfect blue sky

I lay back in the tall grass

I let the ants cover me

[Verse 2]

For the first time in my life

I am moving away, moving away, moving away

Moving away from within the reach of me

All the while being held like a

Like a, like a big old

Lyrics provided by LRCLIB
