Hold You Down
Love's Turbulence: Holding On and Letting Go
Lyrics
Well it's a shame, it's bittersweet
Expressing a mix of regret and sweetness
It's a rose parade on a small town dead end street
Contrasting a celebratory event with a quiet, uneventful place
I'm just coming down from a memory
Recovering from a past memory
Trying not to think about you flying high without me
Struggling not to dwell on someone moving on without the speaker
I woke up hungover, and I woke up blue
Feeling the effects of a hangover and sadness
I woke up alone in a bed I shared with you
Realizing being alone in a previously shared space
I tried not to be a fool, tried not to cry
Attempting to avoid appearing foolish or crying
I tried to play it cool, but I'm dying inside
Trying to maintain composure while feeling internal anguish
Oh baby won't you let me be the one to love you, be the one to hold you down
Desire to be the one offering love and support
Be the one you run to, but only if you want to
Offering support but respecting the other person's choice
Forever's a long time to just see you around
Longing for a commitment, uncertain about future prospects
Let me hold you down
Asking for the opportunity to provide comfort and stability
Woke up in pieces I woke in lies
Waking up feeling broken and surrounded by deceit
I woke up every day since then and I don't know why
Questioning the reason for continuously waking up in this state
That I just keep coming back for more
Repeatedly returning despite negative experiences
And you wrap your arms around me and take me to the floor
Being drawn back into a physical and emotional connection
Oh baby won't you let me be the one to love you, be the one to hold you down
Expressing a desire to provide love and support persistently
Be the one you run to, but only if you want to
Reiterating the willingness to offer support with respect for choice
Forever's a long time to just see you around
Uncertain about the extended presence in a situation with uncertainty
Let me hold you down, down, down
Requesting the opportunity to provide support persistently
