Hold Me Close

[Verse 1]

Drunk by noon on new years day

In the hills outside of town, some place

With the smoke and the wine

And a stranger's eyes

Smoke and the wine and the whiskey don't mix

Shaking so bad, think I'm gonna be sick

Buy another scotch as I head to the door

And it won't make me better, but I want to make sure

[Chorus]

Hold me close

I love you more than you know

And I step outside

[Verse 2]

I drank away all of my fears and my doubts

Stole away hearts from town to town

Now the things I fear come back here

I feel the cold ground underneath my boots

And for no good reason, it reminds me of you

Never made good, though I tried and I tried

So, I turn back around and walk inside

[Chorus]

Hold me close

I love you more than you know

Hold me close

I love you more than you know

And that won't make things right
