Hold Me Close

I was drunk by noon on new years day

In the hills outside of town some place

With the smoke and the wine

And a stranger's eyes

Smoke and the wine and the whiskey don't mix

Shakin' so bad, think I'm gonna be sick

Buy 'nother scotch as I head to the door

Now it won't make me better

But I wanna make sure

Now hold, me close,

I love you more than you know

And I step outside

Now I drank away all of my fears and my doubts

Stole away hearts from town to town

Now the things I fear

Come back here

I feel the cold ground underneath my boots

For no good reason it reminds me of you

Never made good, though I tried and I tried

So I turn back around...

And I walk inside

Now hold, me close

I love you more than you know

Now hold, me close

I love you more than you know

And that won't make things right
