Lou Barlow - Holding Back the Year lyrics

Rolling from your brat sarcastic eye A California tear, a drop of gold Maybe you were cold, yeah, so was I Holding back, holding back the year The year before the poison took its toll Made you paper thin, me wrinkled old Eventually yeah, finally it caught up I held you back, grabbed you by the arm I played upon your fear Rolling down the window won't I Order up some breakfast if I can Hold me back, hold me by the arm Wipe away my tear Wipe away my tear The story ends with friends and early nights A kitten grown to cat and no more fight This is how we stay together love Holding back, holding back the year Hold me back, grab me by the arm Whisper in my ear Holding back the year Holding back the year
