FAWM: "The Only Thing that Holds Me"

The Only Thing that Holds Me

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I wrote this skirmish song during the right time frame, which started midnight here, but I'm coming down with a chest infection and had to sleep, hence the late posting. Plus I'm not going to be singing any time soon.

Lyrics

You want me to stay and so I stay
You ask me to wait and so I wait
And as I see you heading down the road
I wonder if love's the same as fate

chorus:
Cuz the only thing that holds me here is love
I'm a big boy without a thing to prove
But since you left I just can't seem to move
The only thing that holds me here is love

I could just turn and walk away
I am not tied to this place
But all I do is stare at where you were
And think about the smile on your face

chorus

bridge:
You could treat me better
You could throw me a bone
You never send me a letter
Or pick up the phone

But when you return all is forgiven
First I feel relief, then joy
When you open the door and pat my head
And say "Who's been a good boy?"

chorus

I really like these lyrics, love the first verse. On the face they're about a dog... or are they about the pitfalls of a one-sided relationship and the perils of blind faith. Hmmmm...
