Knocked down everything I tried to do.
That sounds something like me holding you.
I've known this can make you understand.
Take my spirit from my open hand.

You used to hold me
You used to hold me
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah

You know better than I do.

Knocked down everything I tried to do.
That sounds something like me holding you.
I've known this can make you understand.
Take my spirit from my open hand.

You used to hold me
You used to hold me
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah

You know better than I do.

You used to hold me
You used to hold me
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah
You used to hold me me me me, yeah

    Lyric Correction:It's 'you used to hold me near, near, near.' I know he pronounces it wierd but I'm pretty sure it's that.

    Memory:Makes me remember when I was dating someone so much, I was almost begging for not too much love, now he's not with me anymore. Then I start singing this due to my stupid emotions in those times... he's dating another person. *Signs*

    General Comment:I don't think the above lyrics to this song are correct.
    This is how I think it goes:

    Knocked down everything I tried to do
    That sounds something like me holding you
    I know this can make you understand
    Take my spirit from my open hand

    (Chorus)
    You used to hold me
    You used to hold me
    You used to hold me, me, me, me, yeah (X3)

    Me, me, me, yeah. . .


    You know better than I do

    Knocked down everything I tried to do
    That sounds something like me holding you
    I know this can make you understand
    Take my spirit from my open hand

    (repeat from Chorus)

    You know better than I do.

    (back to Chorus)

    General Comment:The one line I find most intriguing in this song is "Take my spirit from my open hand." Is it referring to his metaphysical "spirit", or just an alcoholic beverage (or both)!?
