Held Down - Laura Marling

I woke up, it was four in the morning

Clear as all hell that you’d already gone

(Gone, gone, gone)

Your note said, «Dear, you know I hate to disappear

But the days are short and the nights are getting long»

(Long, long, long)

And I just meant to tell you

That I don’t want to let you down

(Down, down, down)

And I just meant to tell you

That I don’t want to get you wrong

(Wrong, wrong, wrong)

Think about now with my legs wrapped around you

How many times before have you seen me run?

(Run, run, run)

It’s a cruel kinda twist that you’d leave like this

Just drop my wrist and say, «Well, that’s us done»

(Done, done, done)

I was just gonna tell you

That I don’t want to let you down

(Down down down)

Get lost in the crowd

Seen or unseen

Say what you mean

You sent me a book, which you gave half a look

But I just don’t care for, and I cannot get through

(Through, through, through)

But you’re writing again, and I’m glad, old friend

I’ll make sure you write me out of where you get to

(To, to, to)

I was just gonna tell you

That I don’t want to let you down

(Down down down)

Get lost in the crowd

Seen or unseen

Say what you mean

'Cause we all want to be here now

And we all want to be held down

And we all want to be here now

And we all want to be held down

I woke up, it was four in the morning

Clear as all hell that you’d already gone

Your note said, «Dear, you know I hate to disappear

But the days are short and the nights are getting long»

And I just mean to tell you

That I don’t want to be let down

Get lost in the crowd

Seen or unseen

Say what you mean
