You Hold Me Together

Ooh yeah, oh-oh

By now I should've been broken

On the rocks that rise from life's ocean

Just another ship lost at sea

And by now I should've been scattered

In the wind of my lonesome travels

Like a thousand dandelion seeds

And I should've come unraveled

At the seams like a well worn sweater

But you hold me together

My hopes should've been shattered

Like a bottle out behind some tavern

From a fight that you had no chance to win

My dreams should've been ashes

Gone up in smoke like a book of matches

Tossed away and never gonna burn again

And I should've worn right through

Like an old cowboy's boot leather

But you hold me together

I feel your love surrounding me

Strong enough that I can believe

There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather

'Cause you hold me together, ah ooh

Together, yeah yeah

I feel your love surrounding me

Strong enough that I can believe

There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather

No, there'll never be a storm that I can't weather

I should've been long forgotten

Just a footnote down at the bottom

Of a page in the book of what could've beens

My heart should lie in pieces

On the ground like a goodbye letter

But you hold me together

Oh, you hold me together, yeah yeah

You hold me together, ah ooh

Together, yeah yeah

Oh, you hold me, you hold me together, oh oh
