Hold On Tighter
Written October 1994
Appears on Death And Re:Bertha
Available as an mp3


Lean a little harder on my shoulder
You can chase away the pain
Or you can hold on a little tighter
And I guarentee I'll do the same.

And you can count on me to be there
Even though you know I know the score
You can count on me to be there
Even after you send me out that door.

Bridge:
'Cause I know you're just a friend of mine
   in love with old what's-his-name
And I find myself left holding on to nothing but the pain.

And you tell me about your weakness
And you say it doesn't apply to me
'Cause we're a little more than friends now,
   but I'm not sure what we are
Whatever it is, it seems like what you need.
Like that time you needed someone when the dam broke
And you asked me to be there by your side
And I was there... yeh, I was there
And someone else slipped inside.

Bridge:
'Cause I know you're just a friend of mine
   and every night's a different game
And I find myself left holding on to nothing but the pain.

So hold on to me a little tighter
Before you say another line
'Cause we were more once, and once was enough
And maybe I'll believe it this time.

Bridge:
'Cause I know you're just two friends in time
   and no one is to blame
And I find myself just holding on to you.
