You hold your cards in and look away
I guess that means it's my turn
You hold me with fierceness and you pull away early
As though you could keep yourself from getting burned
Well love me like you mean it, like it's the only thing you need
I'm not holding back on you so don't you hold back on me
Well you can make my ears ring, baby
Without making any sound
You creep up to the edge of saying something
Then you balk and you back down
Well love me like you mean it, like it's the only thing you need
I'm not holding back on you so don't you hold back on me
Do you think you can save yourself
If this ship goes down?
If we start taking on water, we don't stick together
We're both gonna drown. Down down down....
I could be your estranged father
Or your one night stand
I could be your unborn baby
Even if you never get to hold my hand
Well love me like you mean it, like it's the only thing you need
Cause I'm not holding back, I'm not holding back
So don't you hold back on me.
I'm not holding back on you, so don't you hold back on me.
