Holding on Too Tight - Blue Rodeo

I wouldn’t mind if you told me I was wasting time

It’s hard for me here trying to say these things with you so near

I’m already undone, already undone

Now is the time I should leave these useless things behind

But fool that I am, I try to stay inside of your latest plan

I’m already undone

This time I promised myself that I wouldn’t sink so far

But here I am, I’m wrapped around you in the glow of this empty bar

I wish I could hold my tongue and finally say «goodnight»

Am I holding on too tight?

Hours ago, I could pride myself on some control

But plans that I’ve made disappear with every drink that’s laid

I’m already undone, already undone

Yeah, there’s a way but I can’t even keep one single word I say

And I’ve been wrapped around your finger from the very first day

I wish my legs would work and I could run out in the night

Am I holding on too tight?

I wouldn’t mind if you put me out of my hurt some time

I’m waving the flag, chasing beauty shouldn’t be such a drag

I’m already undone, a-already undone

Now I am lost and I can’t even feel my head

While you and all your friends are laughing about something you wish you’d said

I wish I could just reach up and turn out every light

Am I holding on too tight?

Yes, I know I’m holding on too tight
