Sometimes I get up,
just to watch you sleep
You know when I get high,
it's just to be near you
But this can't sustain

You're so soft, soft as your voice
It takes me apart, it gives me away
piece by piece, day after day

You could hold me down,
I know you'd like to change,
but you don't know how
Everything looks grey here in your shadow of doubt,
but you could still hold me down

Yeah, I get so tired of trying to turn you around,
when all of my words keep falling by the wayside
My eyes wide, you've got nothing to stay still you can't turn away now

You could hold me down,
I know you'd like to change,
but you don't know how
Yeah, everything gets grey here in your shadow of doubt
but I want to hold you,
the way that you hold me

I need just a touch to move me,
I need you who sees right through me,
Yeah, I can't stand to hear you say
your yesterdays were all my mistakes
Why do I get so much when you give up?

You could hold me down,
I know you'd like to change,
but you don't know how
Everything looks grey here in your shadow of doubt,
but I'm going to hold you,
the way that you hold me down
