Hold Me Down Lyrics

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

I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday
T 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
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down

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?

Cancel our dinner with Max and Caroline
Feed Jackie's gerbil and try to stay clean
We'll talk it over after I've had
Some time alone to sort it out

You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down

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 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?
