If you leave in your car down the avenue
Should I watch you as you go?
Through the streets and the alleys we´ve both wandered through
I won´t know them anymore

If the things that we did were what we wanted to
Or if we did them because were poor
And if I know no one´s askin´ for an excuse
Let´s just leave one at their door

Holdin´ me while I´m holdin´ you
Over the flames of a lie

When you´re all alone with voices callin´ you
I just hope that one might be mine
And it´s the one that makes you shiver by tellin´ you
That things won´t turn out fine

Holdin´ me while I´m holdin´ you
Over a dyin´ flame tonight
Hopin´ you will release my hand
And one will fall and one will rise

If the traffic´s so thick upon the avenue
And you find that you can´t go
Through with leavin´ blind, how you wanted to
For somewhere that you don´t know
That the footsteps you follow home through the snow
Won´t be mine, they´ll be your own
Like the sound of the voices tellin´ you
That things will turn out fine

So if you see me leavin´ down the avenue
Don´t mind me, just let me go
Though the streets and the alleys we´ve both wandered through
They aren´t mine, they´re both our own

Holdin´ me while I´m holdin´ you

Over a dyin´ flame tonight
Hopin´ you will release my hand
And one will fall and one will rise

Holdin´ me while I´m holdin´ you
Holdin´ me while I´m holdin´ you
Holdin´ me while I´m holdin´ you
Holdin´ me while I´m holdin´ you
