Motion City Soundtrack Hold Me Down Lyrics

I found a letter that said:
"I'm sorry that you were asleep
when I wrote these words down,"
You'd think I'd ought to be
used to that by now.
But save for a few of those
late night episodes,
Missed opportunities, and
'I Don't Care's,
There's not a lot that I feel
obliged to share or talk about.

I'll have my brother stop by
this Saturday to pick up my things,
Just make sure you're not there.
This may sound bad,
don't take it the wrong way.
I love you, however, you hold me down.
You hold me down,
You hold me down,
You hold me down.

You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the
whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I
burst and why I bloom
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?

Cancel our dinner with Max and Caroline
Feed Jackie's gerbil
and try to stay clean
we'll talk it over after
I've had some time
alone to sort it out
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down

You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the
whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I
burst and why I bloom
You're the leaky sink of sentiment,
You're the failed attempts
I never could forget.
You're the metaphors I can't
create to comprehend this
curse that I call love.
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
