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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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)!?

    I think it might be "you used to hold me dear"

    Love this song.

    But the chorus annoys me... 'cause it almost sounds like he says "you used to hold me me me near" but I think it's just "me" all the way through but it sounds wrong at the end lol. XD

    Totally agree, song is great, but does anyone actually know what the lyrics in the chorus are? Sounds to me like 'you used to hold me be be beer'??!!!!

    i like this song, i just wish it wasn't breakup song, cuz the groove could do without the bitter lyrics.

    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)

    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
