I don't think that I can
Let it burn to ashes
Like I used to want before

December found it's passing
Without it's rising action
And my fall down at your door
So am I losing all my friends
I don't think that I can
Make it through another year alone

But California lies across the setting sun
And I can taste your body
On the tip of my dried out tongue
If I hold it together (hold it together)
I got to hold it together (hold it together)

May these lines stay severed
Yeah, I wrote them from the dash light
From a thousand miles from home
Said you're all grown up girl
And we both know what this is
And we both know I got to go

California lies across the setting sun
And I can taste your body
On the tip of my dried out tongue
And I hold it together (hold it together)
I got to hold it together (hold it together)

I got to hold it (hold it together)
I got to hold (hold it together)


I can see you
Your red hair blowing in the breeze as we walked home
Said I could feel you
And the way you once moved under me so long ago

I got to hold it together
I got to hold it together now
