Holding Back The Year Lyrics - Emoh - Lou Barlow

Rollin' from your brat sarcastic eye 

A California tear, a drop of gold 

Maybe you were cold, yeah, so was I 

Holdin' back, holdin' back the year 

The year before the poison took its toll 

Made you paper thin, me- wrinkled, old 

Eventually, yeah, finally it caught up 

I held you back, grabbed you by the arm 

I played upon your fear 

Rollin' down the window won't I 

Order up some breakfast if I can 

Hold me back, hold me by the arm 

Wipe away my tear 

Wipe away my tear 

The story ends with friends and early nights 

A kitten grown to cat and no more fight 

This is how we stay together, love 

Holdin' back 

Holdin' back the year 

Hold me back 

Grab me by the arm 

Whisper in my ear 

Holdin' back the year 

Holdin' back the year
