Holding Back

(album: Serpentina - 2022)

Oh, love, love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Drowned my sorrows, called you up
When the truth is tough
Honesty may not be enough

'Cause love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning

Never told you that I seen the light
You know I push it 'cause I go too far
Something 'bout what you said in the morning
Never gave me a warning, ah
And while you walking free
I stay in the middle unaccompanied
Missing you a little, won't you come and see?
I wrote you a melody, can't you see that?
It's you I'm loving, babe
I know you won't admit it, but we're something, babe
All I wanna do is get you loved and laid
I wrote you a melody, can't you see that?

Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning

I remember when you locked us out
We had to climb in through the window, how
Lifted me up, was on the second floor and
I always loved that story
And while you talk to me
You don't think I listen, but I do, you see
Words are never bitter 'cause your voice so sweet
Your voice is like a melody, can't you see that?
Baby, don't be afraid
Not every conversation is a new grenade
All I wanna do is get you loved and laid
I wrote you a melody, can't you see that?

Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning

Anything
I want you more than all time
I want you more than moonlight
I want you more than sunshine
I want you more than water
I want you more than high tides
So don't you say that our time is up
Our time ain't up, oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you (I want you)
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, yeah
I want you, I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you (Want you, want you, want you, want you, want you)
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, yeah (Give me love, yeah)

Love is holding back, yeah
I know I've done you wrong
Over and over
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning
Love is holding back, yeah
I know I've done you wrong (Oh, na na na na na na)
Leave me, I'm alright (Oh, na na na na na na)
I'll see you in the morning (Oh, na na na na na na)
(Baby, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you)
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning
