Hold Me Back

(album: Love & Retrograde - 2019)

Staring at a screen
Living caffeine dreams
Give me my two weeks
I don't meet your expectations
Marching past defeat
To the city's beat
Where everyone I meet
Is looking for some inspiration

I don't need a rhyme or reason
So let me run this town
Pain is now my motivation
Could this be the time or season?
So let me run this town
I'd like to see them try

To hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Oh, from losing my ground)
Hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Oh, from losing my)
To hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Oh, from losing my ground)
Hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Oh, from losing my)

Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I'm feeling
Hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Oh, from losing my ground)
Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I'm feeling

Hold me back
Hold me back
To hold me back
Hold me back

Hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Oh, from losing my ground)
The corner's no place for me baby
The corner's no place for me
To hold me back (Oh, from feeling alright)
Don't hold me back (Oh, you're losing this fight)
The corner's no place for me baby
The corner's no place for me

Rolling through the streets
The city symphony
Plays in front of me
Meeting my own expectations

I don't need a rhyme or reason
So let me run this town
Pain is now my motivation
Could this be the time or season?

Hold me back
Hold me back
To hold me back
Hold me back

Hold me back (Only keeping me down)
Don't hold me back (Oh, from losing my ground)
The corner's no place for me baby
The corner's no place for me
Don't hold me back (Oh, from feeling alright)
Don't hold me back (Oh, you're losing this fight)
The corner's no place for me baby
The corner's no place for me

Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I'm feeling
Oh, I don't need your words 'cause I'm feeling
