Holding Back the Year

Rollin' from your brat sarcastic eye
 A California tear, a drop of gold
 Maybe you were cold, yeah, so was I
 Holdin' back, holdin' back the year
 The year before the poison took its toll
 Made you paper thin, me wrinkled, old
 Eventually, yeah, finally it caught up
 I held you back, grabbed you by the arm
 I played upon your fear
 Rollin' down the window won't I
 Order up some breakfast if I can
 Hold me back, hold me by the arm
 Wipe away my tear
 Wipe away my tear
 The story ends with friends and early nights
 A kitten grown to cat and no more fight
 This is how we stay together, love
 Holdin' back, holdin' back the year
 Hold me back, grab me by the arm
 Whisper in my ear
 Holdin' back the year
 Holdin' back the year
