lyrics

i’ve been holding your name
underneath my tongue
they all thought i swallowed you down
with your last bottle of rum
cheers! they all say
it was about time
but it’s about my lionizing

i’m still holding your name
underneath my tongue
they all thought i swallowed you down
through my system your’ve run
but what they do not know
is that i’m stone cold sober
calculating the hours
it’s not over
til i say it’s over

overcome the wanting
and the waiting
and the wallowing
wishing i could just play dead
overcome the wanting
and the waiting
and the wallowing
wishing get you out of my head

swallow you down
course through my veins
and of course i remain steady (and standing)
but i understand
that i am to blame
for holding your name so long
so long
so long
it’s not over
til i say it’s over
