Not done everything I tried to do
That sounds somthing let me holding you
I've known that's gonna make you understand

Not done everything I tried to do
That sounds somthing let me holding you
I've known that's gonna make you understand
take my spirit from my open hand

You used to hold me (x12)

You know better than I do

You used to hold me (x12)

The one line I find most intriguing in this song is "Take my spirit from my open hand." Is it referring to his metaphysical "spirit", or just an alcoholic beverage (or both)!?

I think it might be "you used to hold me dear"

Love this song.

But the chorus annoys me... 'cause it almost sounds like he says "you used to hold me me me near" but I think it's just "me" all the way through but it sounds wrong at the end lol. XD

Totally agree, song is great, but does anyone actually know what the lyrics in the chorus are? Sounds to me like 'you used to hold me be be beer'??!!!!

i like this song, i just wish it wasn't breakup song, cuz the groove could do without the bitter lyrics.

I don't think the above lyrics to this song are correct. This is how I think it goes:

Knocked down everything I tried to do That sounds something like me holding you I know this can make you understand Take my spirit from my open hand

(Chorus) You used to hold me You used to hold me You used to hold me, me, me, me, yeah (X3)

Me, me, me, yeah. . .

You know better than I do

Knocked down everything I tried to do That sounds something like me holding you I know this can make you understand Take my spirit from my open hand

(repeat from Chorus)

You know better than I do.

(back to Chorus)

Maybe it'll be because of his soul? Spirit=Soul. Remember this pray? "Into your hands we commend our spirits" :)

Makes me remember when I was dating someone so much, I was almost begging for not too much love, now he's not with me anymore. Then I start singing this due to my stupid emotions in those times... he's dating another person. Signs
