lyrics

Chorus
Baby how you wanna be held?
Baby how you wanna be held?
I’m six feet under, playing with thunder
Wanna know baby how you wanna be held?

I’m gonna try and hold you real tight
I’m gonna try and hold you real tight
Am I feeling you, or am I feeling my might?
You just can’t move and it don’t seem right
Just can't move and it don’t seem right, it don’t seem right

I’m gonna try and hold you real loose
I’m gonna try and hold you real loose
But the problem is that I can’t find you
You slipped right through like a bird in a noose
Slipped right through like a bird in a noose, bird in a noose

Chorus

I’m gonna try just holding your hand, I’m gonna try just holding your hand
Pretend that’s all of you, so I can understand
There ain’t no doubt when all I know is your hand
Ain’t no doubt when I all know is your hand, know is your hand

I’m gonna hold you the way I was taught, I’m gonna hold you the way I was taught
The way my momma held, and she held a lot
Flesh and blood and the sign of the cross
Flesh and blood and the sign of the cross, sign of the cross

Chorus

Ahhhhhhh Can’t hold you with mind
Ahhhhhhh Poles
Ahhhhhhh Picture a branch and a vine
Heart knows

I’m gonna let another human hold you
I’m gonna let another human hold you
They hold you in a way that I couldn’t do
But them and me we can hold you true
Them and me we can hold you true, we’ll hold you true

Maybe you don’t wanna be held
Maybe you don’t wanna be held
Then I’ll be a channel, you can play me like a piano
I said maybe you don’t wanna be held
