"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 noone heard me,
so here i go.
cuz when youre in the company of strangers,
or with the strangers you call friends,
you know before you start
just how its gonna end.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy,
hold me down

i cant remember why i like this feeling,
when it always seems to let me down,
soon i find im 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 ill have another broken story,
let me out.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
when half the party moves into the bathroom,
hold me down.

if youre at the tail end of the evening,
and that good feeling comes around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

well i guess i must have just been reeling,
when i felt myself begin to fall,
i realized im boundin down the hallway
off the walls.
and if my bed was standing in the corner
i could just fall into it right now
know that id 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 the bathroom,
hold me down.
or if youre at the tail end of the evening
and that good feelin comes around
anytime the pickins look too easy,
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

know that ill never be back home.
down and ive gone too far.
