Hold Me Tight, Leave Me Alone

[Verse 1]
I haven't looked beneath the surface in a little too long
If that little monster is in the basement isn’t dead
Then he's stronger
Outside there's a cool wind blowing
Here by the fire there’s a tension growing

[Chorus]
Hold me tight, tight, tight
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Hold me right, right right
Leave me alone
Out on my own
My message is mixed
Up to all my old tricks
I'm all cotton and then I'm a stone
Hold me tight, tight, tight
Leave me alone

[Verse 2]
I put my lightning in a bottle
And I sent it out to sea
Hoping the somebody would find it
And come save me
The ship comes and it finds me hiding
They have to drag me kicking and screaming

[Verse 3]
I want you here
And then I want you gone
Don't know my up or downs
My right or wrongs
I want you here
But then I want you gone
I want you gone
