But no flame burns forever, oh no You and I both know this all too well And most don't even last the night One last time Just one last time With the twilight No they don't, they say they don't Without holding back my mind Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins

Oh even if we're ready or not Ready or not but I waste no time I'm headin' out with some friends of mine Holdin' on to what we've got Ready or not but they're back in town The word is out that this time around They'll be lettin' go with all they've got

Make that move right now, baby (Make that move) (Make that move) Make that move Everybody, everybody needs somebody to love And I choose you, baby, so let's You only go out once in a lifetime So many times By holding back I let the good things pass me by

Sands of all time, mystery of life Everlasting sadness through lightyears gone by Land lost in time, once more back where we belong Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on Rise up to the open sky One chance at the price of glory Raise your souls

Baby, it's a fine line I'm holding on, you're holding back Can't you hear me knockin' at your door? But you're taking your sweet time In love, out of touch Baby, it's a real fine line Completely complacent So decidedly vacant I keep waiting for something

Nothing's gonna stop us. Uh-oh, why you holding back, now? Don't you know it's time to let your inner freak out? Uh-oh (Uh oh) Not when the beat is kicking like this does Why should I care about the opinion of others? I don't wanna spend my time hiding

Just like my mama said I'm going straight to hell And I'm going straight to hell 'Cause I'm going straight to hell I grew up just west of the tracks Holdin' me to hold me back Around your door she's callin' out my name

I know it's a shame Tell me it's okay Lately I've been thinking about the past How there is no holding back No point in wasting sorrow On things that won't be here tomorrow But you and I well, we don't need to speak It's the secret that we keep

She won't stop me put it down And don't look back Oh baby don't stop Bury me and fade to black So get your gun and meet me by the door Would I lie to you? Gun it while I'm holding on Don't stop if I fall Wait until it fades to black

Why'd I have to go and do you like that? Thought I'd moved on and you brought me right back To the night you took my kiss away from me I took yours too, then I lost you Bring me back to holding hands in the rain I swear I'd ease your pain Lift you up so
