Paper Soldiers - Hold Me Closer Lyrics

I tied an anchor to my ankles and tossed it out to sea
I'm ready to drown my demons, even if it kills me
When my feet hit the ocean floor, I swear I heard you speak
I forgot to let you know you've had my heart since 17
I'll fight tide and undertow
Just to let you know

You gave me a reason to pick up all the pieces
Your eyes lit the fire that kept me warm all of these seasons
Living in the mid-west has it's ups and downs
But LA can't compete with you and this old town
So hold me closer than your shadow
So hold me and never let me go

We'll drive as fast as you want down 75
Til we run out of gas and make camp for the night
Somewhere on the side of the road in Kentucky
I'll sing this song for you in hopes that you'll love me
Until my voice falls apart
Backseat romance in the dark

You gave me a reason to pick up all the pieces
Your eyes lit the fire that kept me warm all of these seasons
Living in the mid-west has it's ups and downs
But LA can't compete with you and this old town
So hold me closer than your shadow
So hold me and never let me go

You gave me a reason to pick up all the pieces
Your eyes lit the fire that kept me warm all of these seasons
Living in the mid-west has it's ups and downs
But LA can't compete with you and this old town
So hold me closer than your shadow
So hold me and never let me go
