They won’t hold me like you do – by Jeremy Blanchard
Written: May 5 – 7, 2012
Dedicated to: My awesome wife

This is the first song I’ve written in over four years. I am well aware of it’s faults, so be kind.
As my lyric teacher once said, “S**t makes the best fertilizer.”

It is a rather simple song, much simpler than most of my songs of old.

My favorite line is in the chorus:
“they won’t smile when the lights are off”

Here’s to more to come.
Thanks for listening.

For those interested, here are the lyrics:
——–
I could grab the stars from the sky
I could run them around the world
I could fly to the moon with my cosmonaut crew
But they won’t hold me like you do

If the storm clouds come and rip us apart
If the night dragons burn us up
If the gates of hell come take me from you
they won’t hold me like you do

[CHORUS]
They won’t hold me like you hold me
they won’t smile when the lights are off
they won’t sacrifice against love’s advice
They won’t hold me like you do

If the police come and take me to jail
If the magistrate keeps me without bail
You will still have my heart until it turns blue
cause they won’t hold me like you do

[CHORUS]

When the lions come and ravage my bones
When the floodwaters come and sweep away our home
if you say you love me there’s nothing more to do
cause they won’t hold me like you do

[CHORUS]
