If you leave in your car down the avenue Should I watch you as you go? Through the streets and the alleys we've both wandered through I won't know them anymore If the things that we did were what we wanted to Or if we did them because were poor And if I know no one's askin' for an excuse Let's just leave one at their door Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you Over the flames of a lie When you're all alone with voices callin' you I just hope that one might be mine And it's the one that makes you shiver by tellin' you That things won't turn out fine Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you Over a dyin' flame tonight Hopin' you will release my hand And one will fall and one will rise If the traffic's so thick upon the avenue And you find that you can't go Through with leavin' blind, how you wanted to For somewhere that you don't know That the footsteps you follow home through the snow Won't be mine, they'll be your own Like the sound of the voices tellin' you That things will turn out fine So if you see me leavin' down the avenue Don't mind me, just let me go Though the streets and the alleys we've both wandered through They aren't mine, they're both our own Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you Over a dyin' flame tonight Hopin' you will release my hand And one will fall and one will rise Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you Holdin' me while I'm holdin' you
