[Verse 1] I came in with the rain On my coat and in my teeth Mama left a blue plate Still warm on the counter Your name sat in the chair Like a coat nobody claimed I touched the empty glass And it cut my hand open [Pre-Chorus] Tell me where you go When the room gets mean Tell me where you hide When the floor won't keep [Chorus] Hold me, hold me down Hold me in the heat Hold me, hold me down Till my bones can speak (speak) I don't need a halo I need your hands on me Hold me, hold me down Hold me in the heat [Verse 2] There's a red church fan Pinned to the window screen There's a cracked up radio Singing through the grease My brother said, "Baby Don't you let it take your tongue" But my mouth went loud And my heart stayed young [Pre-Chorus] Tell me where you go When the room gets mean Tell me where you hide When the floor won't keep [Chorus] Hold me, hold me down Hold me in the heat Hold me, hold me down Till my bones can speak (speak) I don't need a halo I need your hands on me Hold me, hold me down Hold me in the heat [Bridge] I been split in two Like a church bell chain One part singing mercy One part saying my name Shake that dirt off me Put my feet in fire If I go too deep Pull me back alive [Final Chorus] Hold me, hold me down Hold me in the heat Hold me, hold me down Till my bones can speak (speak) I don't need a halo I need your hands on me Hold me, hold me down Hold me in the heat [Outro] Oh, hold me Hold me down (hold me down) Oh, hold me Till my bones can speak
