Hold Me Down

You Me At Six Hold Me Down Lyrics
1.The Consequence

Calm down, she said,
Consider this a warning,
A souvenir for the morning,
A headache that you can't fix.
I said I can talk my,
My way out of anything,
But I am struggling,
In this emergency.
This one's on your side,
I said this one's on your...

Ambulance,
I'm calling you now,
Accidents,
Bring the house down.
Come on, come on,
You don't know me.
Come on, come on,
You owe me nothing.

Dry your eyes and,
Stick them on ice.
Give your chest a rest it's,
Been cold your whole life.
I'll have you know the table's,
Are about to turn and,
You're going to get,
What, what, what,
You deserve.

Ambulance,
I'm calling you now,
Accidents,
Bring the house down.
Come on, come on,
You don't know me.
Come on, come on,
You owe me nothing.

And is this it my love?
(Turn it up, turn it up, I wanna hear you scream)
Oh, is this it my love?
(Turn it up, turn it up, I wanna hear you scream)

Sing, I am my own worst enemy,
That's what she said to me.
And I am living out your dream.
So sing, I am my own worst enemy,
So we can just breathe,
A little more safely.

Ambulance,
I'm calling you now,
Accidents,
Bring the house down.
Come on, come on,
You don't know me.
Come on, come on,
You owe me nothing.

And is this it my love?
(Turn it up, turn it up, I wanna hear you scream)
Oh, is this it my love?
(Turn it up, turn it up, I wanna hear you scream)
Sing...

I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans.

Real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans.

I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.

I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.
I've got real big plans, and such bad thoughts.


2.Underdog

And I know some things ohh,
It comes and goes,
Like the strength in your bones whoa,
So keep your mind,
At a rest, i'll never let,
The two of us be friends,
Does it hurt?

Underdog,
Just look at the mess you've made,
It's such a shame, a shame,
We had to find out this way.

You must have, the must have,
Moment in your hands,
And its sad, take a bet,
This season, I'm gonna change,
Just not face to face,
It ain't broke,
So don't fix it.

Underdog,
Just look at the mess you've made,
It's such a shame, a shame,
We had to find out this way.

Revenge loves company,
Three makes it a crowd,
So watch your mouth,
Sit this one out.

And I'm down, down,
With everything else, (With everything else)
Yeah, why did you call me again?
I bet, I bet we don't make it, (I bet we don't make it)
Cause, I never say goodbye to my,
Friends in very high places,
They're only making bets with themselves, selves,
They're very, very selfish,
Well keep your mind in the air.

Underdog,
Just look at the mess you've made,
It's such a shame, a shame,
We had to find out this way.

Revenge loves company,
Three makes it a crowd,
So watch your mouth,
Sit this one out.


3.Playing The Blame Game

You're not on my list of things to do
'Cause I've already done you
And I'm protective, it's secure (?)
And only when it suits you
And is this all in vain?
Can these words explain?

Desperate minds mean desperate measures
We've gotta give this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough

At least you'll have nice thoughts of me
When I'm cheating on you in your dreams
I told you before, my cloth (?) is clean
And that these bones don't belong to me

Try this one for size
Try me one more time
You hold me down by keeping me around

Desperate minds mean desperate measures
We've gotta give this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough

Desperate minds mean desperate measures
We've gotta give this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough

You hold me down by keeping me around
And no one takes me home
No one takes me home
You hold me down by keeping me around
And no one takes me home
No one takes me home

Desperate minds mean desperate measures
We've gotta give this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough

Young and in love
(that should be, that should be enough)
Young and in love
(that should be, that should be enough)


4.Stay With Me

You've got a lot to say for the one that walked away
I give, you take that's the way it's always been
Oh, how do I know if I should stay or just go?
The bottom line is this way that I'll never know

Stay with me (stay with me, stay with me)
Stay with me, oh (a-woah, a-woah, a-woah...)

You've got a lot to say for the one that pushed me away
I give, you take some things, they never change
Just change

Stay with me (stay with me, stay with me)
Stay with me
I never knew that I could be this way
I never knew that I could walk away

These things take time to grow
It's been said that time heals wounds
But no, I won't be controlled
And so the story goes

Stay with me (stay with me, stay with me)
Stay with me
And now I know that I can be this way
And now I know that I can walk away


5.Safer To Hate Her

And too much, much is never enough
I had you and I gave you up
And no, I don't know where my mind where was for months
I woke up, I cashed in all of my luck
It walked in hand with your trust
And everybody was kissing fire
And we all got burned

It'd be safer to hate her
Than love her and lose her
It'd be safer to hate her all around

Caught you having a laugh
Did you catch me have the last?
And I've been smiling like this for days
Just to make up for my mistakes
In the dark, I watch everyone disappear
And I'm beginning to let myself down
And I'm pushing everyone that was in, out

It'd be safer to hate her
Than love her and lose her
It'd be safer to hate her all around

And nobody knows what it's like
When we die on the inside
And nobody knows what it's like
To be one of a kind

When we die, do we feel alive?
When we die, do we feel alive?

It'd be safer to hate her
Than love her and lose her
It'd be safer to hate her all around

And nobody knows what it's like
When we die on the inside
And nobody knows


6.Take Your Breath Away


7.Liquid Confidence

If one drink can make tonight slip my mind, then I
Should drink up so I can forget that I have lived my life
You are an example of better things to come
So I'll wait on some other escape that leads me nowhere fast
I've gotta ask

You've got nothing to lose
Except for me and you
And I don't want that attitude
When you know I can do, I'll do better than you

If one can drink can make tonight slip your mind, then you
Should drink up so you can convince yourself that I'm cute
We are an example of why not to fall in love
It takes a turn, and then it hurts
More than you could dream of

When you've got nothing to lose
Except for me and you
And I don't want that attitude
When you know I can do, I'll do better than you
And you've got nothing to prove
Oh, no, wait, yes you do
You wear it so well that we think it's true

You can't stay, I want you gone
You're pulling the carpet I was standing on
You can't stay, I want you gone
You're pulling the carpet I was standing on
You can't stay, I want you gone
You're pulling the carpet I was standing on
Here's the exits, exits, exits

You've got nothing to lose
Except for me and you
And I don't want that attitude
When you know I can do, I'll do better than you

We're already down for love
(Why not to fall in, why not to fall in love)
We're already down for love
(Why not to fall in, why not to fall in love)


8.Hard To Swallow

It seems so hard to swallow,
you keep your thoughts by your pillow.
Just so you can adore them,
and just so we can ignore them.

I'd rather lead than follow,
I'd rather stay and not go home.
My moves have got so old,
or so I've been told.

But now you've lost it all.

We're running out of time
We've got things on our mind,
and things that we just don't like
Who d'you want to see?
Who d'you want to be tonight?

Forgetting the promises you make,
Is how your, your promises easily break.
You sit on the fence, and now I'll take on the risk.
I'll count my losses, and I'll count my fears.

I hope you've cleared your head.

We're running out of time
We've got things on our mind,
and things that we just don't like
Who d'you want to see?
Who d'you want to be tonight?

We're running out of time
We've got things on our mind,
and things that we just don't like
Who d'you want to see?
Who d'you want to be tonight?

We were young and we were blind,
We ignored the warning signs.
How were we to know?
How were we to know?

We were close but still so far,
We grew apart and out of touch,
All I wanted was,
All I wanted was to sing.

We're running out of time
We've got things on our mind,
and things that we just don't like
Who d'you want to see?
Who d'you want to be tonight?

We're running out of time
We've got things on our mind,
and things that we just don't like
Who d'you want to see?
Who d'you want to be tonight?..


9.Contagious Chemistry

If I could have a minute please
Then I'll bring you to your knees
This contagious chemistry is killing me
Oh, you'll never disappear until I give permission, dear
'Cause you're always gonna, always be knee deep
So please

Dearest enemy, off of that
You have just lost me along the way
Somewhere between the fake smiles
And your free drinks
Please don't smother me
I swear that I need some room to breathe
What with you all up, down, and over me
You're not a name, you're just a face
It's contagious, so catch it

This love is dirtier than you think
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears
Trust me
This won't sink lower than you think
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears
Trust me

Dearest enemy, you should listen to those dreams
Because they tell you all you need to know
About doing what you want
No smoke without a fire
With that, our names are a pure lie
Our skin and bones, we've not got long
For exactly what you are
It's contagious, so catch it

This love is dirtier than you think
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears
Trust me
This won't sink lower than you think
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears
Trust me

This is the first and the last time, I swear
There's more where that came from, she said
Do you know what that means?
'Cause I know what that means
This is the first and the last time, I swear
It's a numbers game and you were there
Do you know what this means?
Does he know what this means?

No (oh!) who did you think I was, him?
No (oh!), is he the only lead you were working on?
No (oh!), and you were caught with the best, yeah
Oh, forget the rest
Hotel rooms
Cheap thrill dress
Lack of common sense
Can make this happen

If I could have a minute please
Then I'll bring you to your knees
This contagious, contagious chemistry...

Dearest enemy, you should have never trusted me
You bitch


10.There's No Such Thing As Accidental Infidelity

I've got a question
Did you think that we would ever believe you?
And I've been out of rejection
The line you walk is getting so thin, so thin

Your green eyes are potent
And last night, I know who you were with
And you're a snake in the grass
And always that has been

Go back home now
And go back to sleep
And we'll say
Go back with someone who wants you more than me

Just one more question
Why do you throw your words around town like
They answer nobody's questions?
All ears, your chase comes out at night
Oh, the whistles cry
We're supposed to drop like flies

Go back home now
And go back to sleep
And we'll say
Go back with someone who wants you more than me

Was it something I said
Something I did
That made you destroy all we built?
And it was something you said
Something you did
That made me think that you were real

Go back home now
And go back to sleep
And we'll say
Go back with someone who wants you more than
Who wants you more than me

Go back home now
Go back to sleep
And go back with anything
'Cause I know you'll think of me

Go back home now
Go back to sleep
Go back with anything
'Cause I know you'll think of me

(Go back home now,
go back to sleep and we'll say...)


11.Trophy Eyes

Where did we go so wrong
That we couldn't see that we lost control over everything?
It's personal
She gets involved
We've got these faces
They're painted
So you can't ever sell

Trophy eyes
You've now been mine
For longer than I'd like
You shine so bright
Behind those lies
And I need you more this time

And I am on my own
But not for long
I keep my friends so close
And you even closer
So wrong to say
That I feel this way
But I'm a man of my word
And my words will never change

Trophy eyes
You've now been mine
For longer than I'd like
You shine so bright
Behind those lies
And I need you more this time

Trophy eyes
You've now been mine
For longer than I'd like
You shine so bright
Behind those lies
And I need you more this time
(This is what we'll say)


12.Fireworks

So this is the end of you and me
We had a good run and I'm setting you free
To do as you want, to do as you please
Without me

Remember when you were my boat and I was your sea?
Together we'd float so delicately
But that was back when we could talk about anything

'Cause I don't know who I am
And you're running circles in my head
And I don't know just who you are
When you're sleeping in someone else's bed

Three whole words and eight letters late
That would have worked on me yesterday
We're not the same, I wish that could change
But it can't

And I'll say your name and in the same breath
I'll say something that I'll grow to regret
So keep your hands on your chest and sing with me
That we don't wanna believe

'Cause I don't know who I am
And you're running circles in my head
And I don't know just who you are
When you're sleeping in someone else's bed

So it's true what they say
If you love someone, you should set them free
Oh, it's true what they say
When you throw it away

I don't know who you are
I don't know who you are

Oh, 'cause I don't know who you are
When you sleep with somebody else
'Cause I don't know who I am
When you sleep with him

It's true what they say when you throw it away
