Hold Me Back

Album: Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue Durasi: 3:49
[00:01.02]Put my feet in concrete
[00:04.38]Tie my hands behind me
[00:07.15]'Cause I can feel the pull of the man I was before
[00:14.72]Put your blinders on me
[00:18.21]Wrap your arms around me
[00:21.02]'Cause I'm afraid that I might run right out the door
[00:27.19]If you don't hold me back, hold me back
[00:33.97]'Cause it's just like me to run from the one who loves me
[00:40.95]Father, please hold me back, be the strength I lack
[00:47.84]'Cause it's just like me to run from the one that I need
[00:56.61]Take the wind from my sail
[00:59.65]Throw the anchor over my rail
[01:03.00]'Cause I know I'm not always the quickest to concede
[01:10.48]When it's best that I fail
[01:13.57]Don't let my will prevail
[01:16.49]'Cause my salvation is my magnificent defeat
[01:22.64]I need you to hold me back, hold me back
[01:29.68]'Cause it's just like me to run from the one who loves me
[01:36.42]Father, please hold me back, be the strength I lack
[01:43.55]'Cause it's just like me to run from the one that I need
[01:51.56]I was never able to save myself in the first place
[01:58.21]So why would I think I could do it now?
[02:05.15]If left to my inventions
[02:08.65]The best of my intentions
[02:12.53]We know I'd only destroy myself
[02:20.28]If you don't hold me back, hold me back
[02:27.64]When it's just like me to run from the one who loves me
[02:34.09]Father, please hold me back, be the strength I lack
[02:40.92]'Cause it's just like me to run
[02:44.84]But you hold me back, hold me back
[02:51.28]'Cause it's just like you to run to the one who needs you
[02:58.75]You hold me back, you hold me back
[03:06.03]It's just like you to love me better than I do
[03:12.73]With a love that won't let me go before it makes me new, yeah
