Gin Blossoms Lyrics
"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.
