Sometimes I get up just to watch you sleep   You know when I get high, it’s just to be near you   But this can’t sustain      You’re so soft, soft as your voice takes me apart & gives me away   Piece by piece, day after day      You can hold me down, I know you’d like to change but you don’t know how   Everything looks great here in your shadow of doubt   You can still hold me down      I get so tired, I try to turn you around   & All of my words they keep falling by the wayside, eyes wide   You’ve got nothing to say still, you can’t turn away now      You can hold me down, I know you’d like to change but you don’t know how   Yeah, everything it’s great here in your shadow down   I want to hold you the way that you hold me      I need just touch to move me, I need you who sees right through me   I can’t stand to hear you say, “Your yesterdays were all my mistakes”   Why do I give so much when you give up?      You can hold me down, I know you’d like to change but you don’t know how   Everything looks great here in your shadow of doubt   But I’m going to hold you the way that you hold me down
