I'll take you in long strides
I'll teach you my night rhymes
Deny me just three times
I won't forget the mess, your red face
Just help me to go slow
And grip down my hips when I feel low
My dirt black fathers, I'll find a different way
My dirt black fathers, none of them were saved
But I still yell at the moon
I'm close to making it a song
And I'm close to learning where I went wrong
And I'm close to learning where I go wrong
So hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down, hold me down
I waited for you to see
I wanted for there to be
Bones in my wood floor
Things unsaid, feelings I'd died for
Just help to speak slow
Grip down my hips when I feel low
My dirt black fathers, I'll find a different way
My dirt black fathers, I'll teach them how to pray
But I still yell at the moon
I'm close to making it a song
I'm close to learning where I went wrong
I'm close to learning where I go wrong
So hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
So hold me down...
