[Verse 1]
I held it all together, heavy on my mind
I held it all together but I left it all behind
I didn't see you coming, coming down the line
Traffic in the atmosphere, salt inside your smile

[Pre-Chorus]
Lessons I’m unlearning, back and forth in time
Coming up all rocky but opening my mind

[Chorus]
I have been holding down long as I can remember
The only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
But I’d like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door

[Verse 2]
The sap it runs in springtime
The thaw begins at night
My hips are moving forward
I come from a long line

[Pre-Chorus]
Reckless deep abandon
Streets that open wide
I thought I wasn’t ready
I was ready all the time
[Chorus]
I have been holding down long as I can remember
You the only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
But I’d like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door

[Intrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Some folks live for money
Some folks want their time
I just like to spend my days
Seeking the divine, the divine, the divine

[Chorus]
I have been holding it down long as I can remember
You the only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
But I like to live in your mind, you the intelligent kind
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door
I have been holding it down long as I can remember
You the only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
But I like to live in your mind, you the intelligent kind
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door
