Hold Me Down

(doug hopkins, robin wilson)

So i guess i must have just been dreaming

When i thought i heard myself say no

Anyway it looks like no one heard me so here i go

Cause when you're in the company of strangers

Or just the strangers you call friends

You know before you start just how it's going to end

When the doors swing open and all the drinks are passed around

Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down

I can't remember why i like this feeling

When it only seems to let me down

Soon i find i'm searching for the exit from the ground

If i think the room is turning faster

Then i think the music is too loud

By then i've lived another broken story to let me down

When those doors swing open and all the drinks are passed around

When half the party moves into the bathroom...hold me down

Or if you're at the tail end of the evening

And dr. feelgood comes around

Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down

Down if i want that part

Down if i've gone too far

Well i guess i must have just been reeling

When i felt myself begin to fall

I realize i'm bounding down the hallways and off the walls

If my bed was standing in the corner

I could just fall into it right now

And know that i'd just be staring at the ceiling going round

When those doors swing open and all the drinks are passed around

Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down
