Holding Me Holding You

If you leave in your car down the avenue

Should I watch you as you go?

Through the streets and the alleys we've both wandered through

I won't know them anymore

If the things that we did were what we wanted to

Or if we did them because were poor

And if I know no one's askin' for an excuse

Let's just leave one at their door

Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you

Over the flames of a lie

When you're all alone with voices callin' you

I just hope that one might be mine

And it's the one that makes you shiver by tellin' you

That things won't turn out fine

Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you

Over a dyin' flame tonight

Hopin' you will release my hand

And one will fall and one will rise

If the traffic's so thick upon the avenue

And you find that you can't go

Through with leavin' blind, how you wanted to

For somewhere that you don't know

That the footsteps you follow home through the snow

Won't be mine, they'll be your own

Like the sound of the voices tellin' you

That things will turn out fine

So if you see me leavin' down the avenue

Don't mind me, just let me go

Though the streets and the alleys we've both wandered through

They aren't mine, they're both our own

Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you

Over a dyin' flame tonight

Hopin' you will release my hand

And one will fall and one will rise

Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you

Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you

Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you

Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you
