Hold Me Down - The Happy Fits

Maybe I’m crazy, I’ve

Been talking to myself at night

And I’m feelin' so alone

If I can get the words out right

To tell you how I feel, I might

But they’re comin' out so wrong

Then the voices, they come rushin' in

Like a ten-ton truck into soft cement

Now the words make sense but I can’t repeat

Because sense don’t make what it used to be

I’m here, my love, but I’m floating, baby

Hold me down tight when I’m losing my mind

You tied a tether here to keep me close

I’ve been talking to myself on some Icarus spell

But it got better when you didn’t go

Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here

And I won’t need any more

Hold me down tight when I’m losing my mind

You know I’d really hate to see me float

I tremble when I see your eyes

I saw them in a dream last night

And they heard me sing a song

I never cared for fancy art

Or poetry on old guitars

But they always sing along

Then the notes fill up like a big balloon

As I’m drifting upwards away from you

Now I’m screaming mad with two clenched hands

Will beauty come if I don’t land?

I’m here, my love, but I’m floating, baby

Hold me down tight when I’m losing my mind

You tied a tether here to keep me close

I’ve been talking to myself on some Icarus spell

But it got better when you didn’t go

Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here

And I won’t need any more

Hold me down tight when I’m losing my mind

You know I’d really hate to see me float

Write it to myself at night: as long as you’re here I’ll be all alright

Write it to myself at night: as long as you’re here I’ll be all alright

Write it to myself at night: as long as you’re here I’ll be all alright

I’m here, my love, but I

I’m here, my love, but I’m floating, baby

Hold me down tight when I’m losing my mind

You tied a tether here to keep me close

I’ve been talking to myself on some Icarus spell

But it got better when you didn’t go

Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here

And I won’t need any more

Hold me down tight when I’m losing my mind

You know I’d really hate to see me float
