Somebody Hold Me, by Strawberry Blonde (2025)

Snowed inChecked out Conscious of myselfSad and bored of itDisinterestedIn my own wordsAching as I cry for help Settle downThe world doesn’t revolve around us anyhowIt’s clear to me now The world doesn’t revolve around us anyhowIt’s clear to me now We’re smaller than ever And love is the tether Keeps our feet on the groundIt’s all that we have We’re smaller than ever And love is the tether Keeps our feet on the groundIt’s all that we have Settle downThe world doesn’t revolve around us anyhowIt’s clear to me now The world doesn’t revolve around us anyhowIt’s clear to me now We’re smaller than ever (the world doesn’t revolve around us)

I’ll be seeing you In the rearviewCan i live with your ghost?Time won’t erase youThe thought that hurts the mostNever saw it comingFalling down Crash landingI’m calling out your nameRecoil in the pain nowI’ll be seeing youIn the rearviewCan I live in a shadowI can’t see through?Part of me died with youCan i live with your ghost? Falling down Crash landingI’m calling out your nameRecoil in the pain nowI'll be seeing youIn the rearviewI'm calling out your nameCalling out your name now

I comfort you alwaysRun from you alwaysHigh and dryI burn for you alwaysBut the burning is a hard thing to tamePacifiedMy love you wear my heart outOh, won't you take me higher?It took so long just to find outYou're all I needI comfort you alwaysRun from you alwaysHigh and dryI burn for you alwaysBut the burning is a hard thing to tamePacifiedMy love you wear my heart outOh, won't you take me higher?My love you wear my heart outOh, won't you take me higher?It took so long just to find outYou're all I needMy love you wear my heart outOh, won't you take me higher?It took so long just to find outYou're all I needI burn for you alwaysBut I just can't help getting caught up in the flameTime after timeWe tell ourselves we'll be alright

Read my mindGive me a signBetween you and I I’d rather not defineWhat is realWhat is true All that I know becomes harder to deny Blood is thicker than waterBlood is thicker than waterBlood is thicker than waterI went down to the riverbedDried up from the floodStill lost in a thoughtNo idea what’s going onThrow my hands in the water Cleanse the heartache from my skin Grant peace to myself Grief is all I got left of him Blood is thicker than waterBlood is thicker than waterBlood is thicker than waterIt’s better to regret than play pretend It’s worse enough to hurt you Remember what you said When you were dead I’d miss you like a best friend Words I writeThe ties that bind (Blood is thicker than water)There’s more than meets the eye (Blood is thicker than water)I’m not ready to admit it now (Blood is thicker than water) I won't admit, won't admit now

DeadwoodRunning through excuses, I’m a wreckAnd you’re still upsetIt’s no good loving someone that you cannot helpToo close to understandStay who you areStay who you are(You don’t have to change for me)Stay who you areStay who you are(You don’t have to change for me)I may never amount, but I believe in youYes I believe in youOne step ahead of youTwo steps backTry all you might but you’ll never forgetOne step ahead of youTwo steps backTry all you might but you’ll never forgetHope floatsDo my best to hold my own insteadAshamed of what I saidHeaven knows you’re the only one I gotSo please don’t goWe can change the endingStay who you areStay who you are(You don’t have to change for me)Stay who you areStay who you are(You don’t have to change for me)I may never amount, but I believe in youYes I believe in youOne step ahead of youTwo steps backTry all you might but you’ll never forgetOne step ahead of youTwo steps backTry all you might but you’ll never forget
