Hold On: Hell or High Water

Hell or High Water


You’d take the path of
Least resistance
Strictly business
Professional
I think you’re making
Rash decisions
Private incisions
A strange comfort
Your career first
And tell me, what would they say about…
What would they say about…
Going out of league?
Should cut me loose before
Cracking enamel
Finding a mammal inside of you…

Baby, I’m coming
Gonna see you tomorrow
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
Forget the falters
Of fathers and mothers
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
And show you it’s real
Show you we’re real

My blood is warm; I’m
Tender and throbbing
Vainly dislodging
This semblance of truth
Can’t call it off
But I’ll share the fault when
Thought I was walking
Wasn’t running too soon
But I was really a stature
All covered in bird shit
National monument to the path of least resistance
And what would they say…
If we took their maps and chose a more scenic root?
But anyway…
Just a thought in passing through elevator doors
The choice is yours… to make…

Gonna take the path of
Least resistance
Heeding insistence
You still crumble
I can tell you’re faking
These gay provisions
Private incisions
Your levee can’t hold
But your career first
Well tell me, what would they say about…
What would they say about…
A sudden collapsing?
Guess you’ve cut me loose and your
Taking good care of
Getting prepared for your new remove…

Baby, I’m coming
Gonna see you tomorrow
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
Forget the falters
Of fathers and mothers
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
And show you it’s real
Show you we’re real

I’m going down
My back finds that wall
Could you say that again?
Could you - please, could you tell me…

Baby, I’m coming
Gonna see you tomorrow
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
Forget the falters
Of fathers and mothers
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
Baby, I’m coming
Gonna see you tomorrow
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
Forget the falters
Of fathers and mothers
Hell or high water
I just have to see you
And show you it’s real
Show you we’re real
