Lyrics

You were a little eerie the first time we met
The night's proceedings you would not recall
But I would never forget
A little clumsy walk with tenderness
Undoing all the silver buttons of my dress
And both untouched by sleep
My eyes wide open, you in oblivion
Never really making it to the same place at the same time
But I never thought that it would end this way
If you're gonna hold on tight, then let go
And that's all that I know
Maybe today the rain will fall
And the patterns left will show you
Whether to stay or to go
I held you while you cried for the love you'd lost
And listened while you reinvented your own past
And when I'd had enough and was on my way
You called me back again
You never really wanted me
You just wanted the company
Well, here's another name to add to your mythology
If you're gonna hold on tight, then let go
And that's all that I know
Maybe today the rain will fall
And the patterns left will show you
Whether to stay or to go
If you're gonna hold on tight, then let go
And that's all that I know
And maybe today the rain will fall
And the patterns left will show you
Whether to stay or to go
