Lou Barlow Holding Back The Year Lyrics

Holding Back The Year Lyrics

Rollin from your brat sarcastic eye



A California tear, a drop of
gold



Maybe you were cold, yah, 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, yea finally it caught up



Held you back, grabbed you
by the arm 



Played upon your fear



But rollin 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



The story ends with friends and early nights



Kitten grown to cat
and no more fight



How'd we ever stay together love...





Holdin back, holding back the year



Hold me back  grab me
by the arm



Whisper in my ear   Holdin back the year
