Blue Rodeo - Holdin' On Too Tight Lyrics
I wouldn't mind if you told me I was wasting timeIt's hard for me here trying to say these things with you so nearI'm already undone, already undoneNow is the time I should leave these useless things behindBut fool that I am, I try to stay inside of your latest planI'm already undoneThis time I promised myself that I wouldn't sink so farBut here I am, I'm wrapped around you in the glow of this empty barI wish I could hold my tongue and finally say goodnight.Am I holding on too tight?Hours ago I could pride myself on some controlBut plans that I've made disappear with every drink that's laidI'm already undone, already undoneYeah, there's a way but I can't even keep one single word I sayAnd I've been wrapped around your finger from the very first dayI wish my legs would work and I could run out in the nightAm I holding on too tight?I wouldn't mind if you put me out of my hurt some timeI'm waving the flag, chasing beauty shouldn't be such a dragI'm already undone, already undoneNow I am lost and I can't even feel my headWhile you and all your friends are laughing about something you wish you'd saidI wish I could just reach up and turn out every light.Am I holding on too tight?Yes I know I'm holding on too tight.
