"Holdin' It Down" lyrics

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

Lessons I'm unlearning, back and forth in time
Coming up all rocky but opening my mind

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

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

Reckless deep abandon
Streets that open wide
I thought I wasn't ready
I was ready all the time

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

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

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
