Hold Me Down

(album: Surprise - 1990)

I been waiting
Waiting is the hardest part
Lying 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 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

I been driving
Driving by your house at night

I been walking
Walking in the pale moonlight

I been balled up
What was like a coiled up spring

And the memory is just fading 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
