[Verse 1: Joseph Mount]
Hold me tonight
Please hold me tonight
I know where you live
It's right past the bridge
And I'll walk you home there
If ever you ask me to, but
Did you know that every time we talk
My heart, it beats a little faster?
And did you know that when our eyes meet
My god, it feels like I love you?
[Chorus: Joseph Mount]
Please hold me tonight
Just hold me tonight
Hold me tonight
Just hold me tonight (Night, night, night, night)
[Verse 2: Joseph Mount]
Take a look inside
I'm trying to find the courage
But I can't find it yet
And in your eyes
They're glow in the dark
But I can't look at them yet
So how am I to know
How to approach
Someone like you?
Oh my, it's uncontrollable
The way I'm only thinking about you
[Bridge: Dana Margolin]
So you found the courage
Do you regret it yet?
It's not what you wanted
But I guess it's off your chest
[Chorus: Dana Margolin, Joseph Mount]
Hold me tonight
Just hold me tonight
So hold me tonight
Please hold me tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
[Outro: Dana Margolin]
'Cause I don't know what l'II do
Instead of loving you
And I don't know who I'll talk to (l don't know who I'II talk to)
I could fake the feeling
I could fake anything you like
But I don't want to (I'm on the outside now, I'm on the outside)
And I don't know who I'll talk to (I'm on the outside now)
I don't know who I'll cry to (I'm on the outside)
And I don't know what I'Il do (I'm on the outside now)
Instead of loving you (I'm on the outside)
And I don't know what I'll do (I'm on the outside now)
I don't know who I'll talk to (I'm on the outside)
Instead of loving you (I'm on the outside now)

Joseph Mount:
The first demo I have of the song is just my voice and a guitar. It was a Velvet Underground-style thing I was thinking of: very sparse. Relatively near the end of recording the album, I was listening to this song, and I was like, ‘We should just restart and have someone else singing...
