Hold Me Down Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JimmyTheSaint 

Cover art for Hold Me Down lyrics by Gin Blossoms

To me, this is probably the most beautiful and artistic song ever written about the painful struggle that is addiction to alcohol. I love--and hate, because I can relate to--so many lines in it.

Doug Hopkins was a beautiful talent.

"So I guess I must have just been dreaming When I thought I heard myself say no Anyway it looks like no one heard me so here I go"

and...

"You know before you start just how it's going to end"

and...

"I can't remember why I like this feeling When it only seems to let me down"

...are deeply personal to me.

What an achingly beautiful song.
