Lou Barlow – 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 wont 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

Howd 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
