Holding Back

Like a kid who can’t lay off the first pitch
Like a cowboy can’t keep his truck out of the ditch
Like a sunset lingering on a summer afternoon
I’m no good at holding back from you

Like a mockingbird can’t help but wanna sing
Like a guitar wants a brand new set of strings
Like the ring of fire that burned around Johnny and June
I’m no good at holding back from you

I could try to play it cool
But I’d just look like a fool
There’s no disguise my heart can use
Nothing that you wouldn’t see right though
I’m no good at holding back from you

[Bridge]

I could try to play it cool
But I’d just look like a fool
There’s no disguise my heart can use
Nothing that you wouldn’t see right though

Like a soldier far from home longs to be missed
Like a porch light wants to see a first kiss
Like a hammock wants a summer breeze
And nothin’ else to do
I’m no good at holding back from you
You’re the one temptation, baby
That I never could refuse
I’m no good at holding back
We both know it’s a fact
I’m no good at holding back from you
