If you leave in your car down the avenue
Would 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 'cause we're poor
And if I know no one's asking for an excuse
Let's just leave one at their door
Holding me while I'm holding you
Over the flames of a lie
When you're all alone with voices callin' you
I just hope one might be mine
And it's the one that makes you shiver by tellin' you
That things won't turn out fine
Holding me while I'm holding you
Over a dyin' flame tonight
Hoping you will release my hand
And one will fall and one will rise
If the traffic's 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 leaving 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
Holding me while I'm holding you
Over a dyin' flame tonight
Hoping you might release my hand
And one will fall and one will rise
Holding me while I'm holding you
Holding me while I'm holding you
Holding me while I'm holding you
Holding me while I'm holding you
