I Can't Hold Back

Survivor · Playlist: The Very Best Of Survivor [2009]

There's a story in my eyes

Turn the pages of desire

Now it's time to trade those dreams

For the rush of passion's fire

I can feel you tremble when we touch

And I feel the hand of fate

Reaching out to both of us

I've been holding back the night

I've been searching for a clue from you

I'm gonna try with all my might

To make this story line come true

Can ya feel me tremble when we touch

Can ya feel the hand of fate

Reaching out to both of us

This love affair can't wait

*I CAN'T HOLD BACK, I'm on the edge

(I CAN'T HOLD BACK)

You voice explodes inside my head

I CAN'T HOLD BACK, I won't back down

Girl it's too late to turn back now*

Another shooting star goes by

And in the night the silence speaks to you and I

And now the time has come at last

Don't let the moment run too fast

I can feel you tremble when we touch

And I feel the hand of fate reaching out to both of us

There's a story in my eyes, turn the pages of desire

Now it's time to trade those dreams

For the rush of passion's fire

( * Repeat)
