Hold Me Down

So I guess I must have just been dreaming

When I thought I heard myself say no,

And anyway it looks like no one heard me,

So here I go.

'Cause when you're in the company of strangers

Or some strangers you call friends,

You know before you start

Just how it's gonna end.



And so remember when those doors swing open

And all the drinks are passed around,

Anytime the pickin's look too easy

Hold me down.



I can't remember why I like this feeling

When it always seems to let me down,

But soon I find I'm searching for the exit

from the ground.

And if I think the room is turning faster

And I think the music is too loud

By then I'll have another broken story

To let me out.



And so remember when those doors swing open

And all the drinks are passed around,

When half the party moves into my bathroom

Hold me down.

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

And Dr. Feelgood comes around,

Anytime the pickin's look too easy

Hold me down.



Down, yeah but not that far.

Down, yeah but not too far.



Well I guess I must have just been reeling

When I felt myself begin to fall

I realized I'm bounding down the hallway

Off the walls.

And if my bed was standing in the corner

I could just fall into it right now

And know that I'd be starin' at the ceiling

Goin' 'round and 'round.



And so remember when those doors swing open

And all the drinks are passed around,

When half the party moves into my bathroom

Hold me down.

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

And Dr. Feelgood comes around,

Anytime the pickin's look too easy

Hold me down.



Down, yeah but not that far.

Down, yeah but not too far.



Know that I will never be back home.

Down, yeah but not too far.
