Blue Rodeo - Holdin' On Too Tight lyrics

rate me

I wouldn't mind if you told me I was wasting time<br />

It's hard for me here trying to say these things with you so near<br />

I'm already undone, already undone<br />

<br />

Now is the time I should leave these useless things behind<br />

But fool that I am, I try to stay inside of your latest plan<br />

I'm already undone<br />

<br />

This time I promised myself that I wouldn't sink so far<br />

But here I am, I'm wrapped around you in the glow of this empty bar<br />

I wish I could hold my tongue and finally say goodnight.<br />

Am I holding on too tight?<br />

<br />

Hours ago I could pride myself on some control<br />

But plans that I've made disappear with every drink that's laid<br />

I'm already undone, already undone<br />

<br />

Yeah, there's a way but I can't even keep one single word I say<br />

And I've been wrapped around your finger from the very first day<br />

I wish my legs would work and I could run out in the night<br />

Am I holding on too tight?<br />

<br />

I wouldn't mind if you put me out of my hurt some time<br />

I'm waving the flag, chasing beauty shouldn't be such a drag<br />

I'm already undone, already undone<br />

<br />

Now I am lost and I can't even feel my head<br />

While you and all your friends are laughing about something you wish you'd said<br />

I wish I could just reach up and turn out every light.<br />

Am I holding on too tight?<br />

Yes I know I'm holding on too tight.
