Hold Me Down

[Verse 1]

I found a letter that said:

"I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words down

You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now

Save for a few of those late night episodes

Missed opportunities, and I don't cares,

There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about"

[Verse 2]

I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday

To pick up my things just make sure you're not there

This may sound bad, and don't take it the wrong way

I love you, however

[Pre-Chorus]

You hold me down

You hold me down

You hold me down

You hold me down

[Chorus]

You're the echoes of my everything

You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night

You're the laziness of afternoon

You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom

How will I break the news to you?

How will I break the news to you?

[Verse 3]

Cancel our dinner with Max and Coraline

Feed Jacky's gerbil and try to stay clean

We'll talk it over after I've had some time

Alone to sort it out

[Pre-Chorus]

You hold me down

You hold me down

You hold me down

You hold me down

[Chorus]

You're the echoes of my everything

You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night

You're the laziness of afternoon

You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom

You're the leaky sink of sentiment

You're the failed attempts I never could forget

You're all the metaphors I can't create

To comprehend this curse that I call love

How will I break the news to you?

How will I break the news to you?

How will I break the news to you?

How will I break the news to you?

How will I break the news to you?
