Hold Me Down Lyrics - Surprise - Better Than Ezra

I been waitin', 

Waitin' is the hardest part. 

Lyin' sleepless, 

Thinkin 'bout you in the dark. 

I can ponder, 

What was like a coiled in spring. 

And the memory was just fadin now, 

I close my eyes and it's you I see. 

I made a promise that I cant keep, 

I close my eyes and I can't sleep. 

Cause you - 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down. 

I been drivin', 

Drivin' by your house at night. 

I been walkin', 

Walkin' in the pale moonlight. 

I been balled up, 

What was like a coiled up spring. 

And the memory is just fadin' now, 

I close my eyes and it's you I see. 

I made a promise that I can't keep, 

I close my eyes and I can't sleep. 

Cause you - 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down. 

Go into the grave with you. 

I made a promise that I can't keep, 

I close my eyes and I can't sleep. 

Cause you - 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down. 

The last thing I remember was her face, 

As I put her in the shallow grave. 

She said, "hold me down," 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down, 

Hold me down. 

Go into the grave with you.
