I can build another one Yeah Hold me back, don't hold me under this bridge I can't keep from fallin' Hold me back, don't hold me under this pain I can't keep from fallin' Hold me love, I see an endless dark I can't keep from fallin' Just hold be back, don't hold me under the rocks Say I'm your only darling A little boy's story, talking to his father Telling him the things that he wish he would've taught him
