You Can't Hold Me Back

(Stacy Donahue)

Donahue/Nite

This song was inspired by a friend of mine that was stuck in life. She was talking to me about how she felt like she was living her boyfriends life and not her own.

I was very sad for her because when I look at her I see such an amazingly talented person. So when Jon and I got together after my lunch with her we talked about it and this is what we came up with.

Jon was very very very helpful with this song and I think its something we can all relate to. Never give up on the fire that burns down deep inside you. Don't let anyone or anything stop you from being who you want to be and doing what you want to do.

You Can’t Hold Me Back
(Donahue/Nite)

you can hold me for a moment while the melody slows down
you can lead while the band closes
lift my feet right off the ground
whisper everything I wanna hear
as the neon turns to black
but you can’t hold me back

I’ve burned far too many candles
tossed and turned too many night
watched my dreams pass at a standstill
so someone else can feel the light
I’ve been trampled like a wildflower
dropped along the path
but you can’t hold me back

I’m a white rose bloomin in a field of red
chasing sunsets while the whole towns gone to bed
I’m a wild train burning down a brand new track
you can’t hold me back

if I choose to walk beside you
if I should lead you by the hand
if my gentle fingers guide you places you have never been
you can hold me by the moonlight
but when the sun peaks through the cracks
you can’t hold me back

I’m a white rose bloomin in a field of red
chasing sunsets while the whole towns gone to bed
I’m a wild train burning down a brand new track
you can’t hold me back

I won’t be tied, living a lie
I will be loved enough so I can fly

I’m a white rose bloomin in a field of red
chasing sunsets while the whole towns gone to bed
I’m a wild train burning down a brand new track
you can’t hold me back
